はい、もちろんです。光の加減が難しい時間帯ですので、あちら側に移動しましょう。
はい、もちろんです。ひかりのかげんがむずかしいじかんたいですので、あちらがわにいどうしましょう。

Gesture & etiquette
Nod politely and point towards a better-lit area with an open palm.
Avoid blocking other people's paths while moving. Do not suggest a spot that is too far away, as it may inconvenience the person taking the photo.
