Shoot into the sun

One thing we cannot fully control is the light, and sometimes the sun is simply too bright and high in the sky. A good tip for these situations is to forget everything you've ever learned and shoot straight into the sun, getting the subject lightly underexposed (no matter what you do, the sun will be blown out). You can then recover a lot of detail in post-product ion and create a very dynamic image, especially if you used an ultra-wide lens.
