Lesson Learned: Mind the Squintiness Redux

In a previous post I mentioned a way to mitigate squintiness on a sunny day:

3. Take a wide shot where they appear small in the photo. Since their faces are small relative to the overall size of the frame, their squintiness is not as noticeable.

I was going to write solely about how I applied this rule to my shot of Amy above when I realized that she came up with another way of handling the squintiness issue: she wore sunglasses! Wearing sunglasses is not always the best solution, because the subject's eyes are hidden which typically makes for a less compelling image. But used in the right situation it can be a viable option when the sun is blazing. You can see the rest of my photos from Ocean Beach here.
