I want to concentrate more on sunshine style photography, the glare and warmth!
Ie a sunrise capturing frost on a bicycle for example.
Not sure if anyone watches it, but the series 'Made in Chelsea' even though it's captured through film they have parts where it shows street signs or period properties with the sun glare, the style of film is what I want to capture on picture.
As said on another of my threads I have a 400d and a 50mm on the way (if this is a better lens to suite the style I'm after)
After information and tips to help captured 'sun kissed' images
Any help would be awesome, thanks in advance

A common term used about this is "the golden hour", which refers to the hour just before the sun sets.
The benefit of this time is the warm glow the sun gives, but at the cost of a lot of places being in complete shadow due to the low angle.
You can get a warming filter to attach to your lens or apply one digitally after the image has been taken. There's a number of methods for warming images in most photo editing software.

Try giving an example of a photo you think is just right, but missing that warm feel.
What you've got to remember is that composition and exposure are far more important to have control over first.
When using natural light, getting it just right is often a question of being in the right place at the right time.
