But Natural Photography

So, many a time we go out to shoot with children in an outdoor location hoping everything will go well. But when you are doing a photoshoot outdoors, whether and natural light can often play tricks and to top it all, children may not be in the right mood for the session.

So often I hear photographers say they had to end up sending one of their best shots to the recycle bin, because it came out underexposed.

I have done it so many times myself in the past. I would get so caught up in the moment that I would forget to fix my settings before clicking the shutter and when I would go to editing that image, it would be too dark.

Though, if you do not use Lightroom then you can follow the same steps in Camera Raw in Photoshop as well.
