Using a low aperture for getting the shot in tricky light

Using a low aperture for getting the shot in tricky light is often a great way to shoot a scene.

I recently photographed a Red Riding Hood inspired portrait session in a redwood forest. Even though it was shot at 10 a.m., it was so dark on the edge of the forest that the only way to capture detail was to use a low aperture, like f/2.8. My Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 workhorse is a fantastic lens for doing just that.
