@gabbivanbaalen One tip I learned the hard way – if you are trying to make it clear all the way to the edges, don’t set your aperture lower than 8. Aperture affects how much light is let in, yes, but it also affects the ‘depth of field’ and having a lower aperture will make the edges blurry… which is great in many circumstances, but when you’re dealing with peoples’ faces, especially if it’s a large group, it’s best to stick to a higher aperture number and get your light from another source (shutter speed & ISO.)
Also, golden hour is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but it can get a little bit intense! Perhaps try to go out when the light is more ‘manageable.’ Hope it turns out great! đ
