best earlier or later afternoon but sometimes I use a polarizing lens to help with the very bright light in Mykonos, and always have the sun on your backEquipment
Nikon D80 AF-S Nikkor 18-135mm hand heldInspiration
It is very unusual to see clouds in Mykonos and with the brilliant Blue sky and white windmills, it made for a great composition. I ran around taking additional photos that day of all my favorite landmarks on this small island of Greece. and I never saw clouds again.Editing
no I shoot cropping in my camera.In my camera bag
another Nikkor long soom lens, 55mm nikkor lens, small expandable tripod, a polarizing lens. of course lens cleaner and wipes, extra lens cap.Feedback
Look for the high contrast and zoom in, crop in the camera rather than using computer software, you become a better photographer especially taking photos of people, I had a class once to take photos in B&W shoulder up of strangers, of course asking permission---this really makes you think about composition. Look carefully at stuff you do not want to see in the photo,just move a little to block out what you do not want. Always shoot against the sun. sometimes I use a polarizing lens to increase the color.
