Hi, thanks for the kind comment. I’m with you when it comes to photographing what catches my eye, usually spontaneously and sometimes planned. There are three things I try to do to manage the light - sun roughly from behind me, expose to avoid blowing the highlights, and move around for a pleasing background.
Absolutely. One thing I picked up from an online course I took was to look at the background. So often, when taking photos of people, we don't notice the light pole or tree growing out of the top of the subject's head. Guilty as charged.
