Travel Landscape - Time of the day |

Throughout the day the sun constantly
changes position. In photographic terms this movement is more than one
from east to west: any change in sun will produce a different effect on
any landscape. When is the best time for photography? How will time
affect photography? In the early morning and evening the sun will be quite
low; the shadow it casts will be long and dramatic. In winter the sun
will be lower still and these shadows will be even more exaggerated. At
midday the sun will be high and the shadow cast will be shorter. In
some cases this can lead to flat and featureless shots, so care must be
taken at this time of day.
The other factor to consider is that the
light cast by the sun in the early morning and late afternoon will have
a warmer tone than that of midday light, so pictures taken at these
times will appear redder or more orange than those taken in the middle
of the day. It is well worth making the effort to get up early, before
the sun rises, to be in position to capture the quality of light as
dawn breaks. A little research beforehand will show where the sun will
be and what it will fall on, depending on the time of year. Early and
late rays of sunlight can illuminate an isolated area of a landscape in
much the same way as a giant spotlight trained on the scene.
