Difference between revisions of "Light, Time of Day, Weather and Seasons"

At dusk and dawn there may be certain natural or man-made features that can be accentuated. Nature can revel in the light that is rarely common to most of us, creating interesting scenes to capture. Trees' foliage, large fields or grassy areas look attractive if there are also some shadows cast here and there. Architecture can be very well highlighted from different angles and shadows have an important role. The eerie orange tint can also be helpful.

Morning and evening scenes are typically the best time to experience with photography, as the light is neither too strong nor too weak and there are abundant opportunities for good photos due to the way in which light is positioned.

Midday or noon photos are much more difficult than expected for some photographers. Challenges are present due to the overly intense light that also has a large portion of ultraviolet radiation. This results in unpleasant violet light cast in brightly light areas. You may also encounter situations where there is either too much light that affects details or the potential scenes look simply uninteresting. Having light cast directly from above, leading to few if any shadows, is the main issue. Unless you have a professional camera with polarizing and Ultraviolet or UV blocking lenses, it is better to avoid taking pictures at this time of day, except as experiments.
