You're going to shoot landscapes? The best light is afternoon. If you come to a lovely spot in the South, then you may want to go back at a different time of day?

2. When taking photos of people, make sure that they were in a natural posture. Setting someone "at attention in the background", the souvenir of the holiday comes uninteresting. Make sure also that the person shooting the light does not shine directly in the face. The model will have the przymrożone eyes. And be creative - even collective image does not have to be boring and casual about it.
