Also - I've been having some trouble with sunny day pictures. Any advice - I know earlier mornings and later afternoons are better, but I've also heard some say to use a fill flash, some say no flash, a reflector, find shade ...... What are your best suggestions?
Bright, direct sunshine is one of the hardest "issues", I think. Great question.
A couple things you can do...
1) find shade - this is typically my #1 suggestion. But blotchy shade is almost worse than no shade at all.
2) shoot directly into the sun - utilize it! if you have an f-stop of 5 or higher, you get those beautiful hexagon shaped sunshines. you'll get silhouettes, so plan on it and use it to your benefit. if you don't want silhouettes, you can flash.
3) fill flash - this can work, but often there is less contrast and from my experience, lenses don't seem to focus as well when shooting into bring light.
4) plan on dramatic shadows! sometimes these can be really great in photos...experiment!
I haven't used a reflector, so I am not able to comment about it. Sorry.
