Use Your Fill Flash

We've all seen the pictures of the guy with the big buck or the kid holding up their first fish and half of their face is in the shadows.

Don't ruin the once in a lifetime shot by forgetting to turn on the flash. Most people don't think that you need a flash outside but for portraits it is imperative in many cases.

Check your camera settings. There should be an option to use the flash at all times rather that using the auto setting. In the auto setting the camera meter will shut off the flash and leave you with a shadow on the subjects face.
