Shooting Great Footage in Outdoor Lighting

The fundamental principles of good light­ing apply whether you shoot video indoors or out. However, sunlight presents unique challenges to videographers. On almost any given day, there is more than enough light outside to shoot a scene. At first, an abundance of light seems like an asset. However, the hundreds and thousands of lumens cast by the sun can actually cause problems for your camcorder. Not techni­cal problems, but aesthetic ones.
