Backlighting

Okay, so you're shooting outdoors. If you don't have additional lighting to put in front of your subjects, don't use the sun as a backlight. For real. You're going to end up either blowing out your sky or underexposing your subjects. It's not a good look and it screams "I have no idea what I'm doing!"

If you have lights, set them up in front of your subject so you can have a balanced exposure...one that properly exposes the sky and your subject. If you don't, just move your subject so the sun becomes the key light rather than the backlight.
