time of day for your shooting
Question: do you see more quality shots using color film if you shoot
early and late in the day versus mid afternoon. I exclusively try to limit my shooting to times when the sunlight is warm and colorful. I've lost too many good compositions because of the harsh direct afternoon light. I have had great shots taken at mid day but usually under specific compositons - under shade or cloud cover, or places where reflections are preferred such as water surfaces, river beds with bright colored dirt, etc. But in general, I prefer dusk/dawn shooting becasue of the warmer results - and the creativity seems to be pumping more because of the more vibrant colors. Also, I like to take into the cost of film and devolping/processing charges. It's a waste when you only get 1-2 keepers per roll. The % should be higher if you want to make a profit. Any thoughts on this? Agree/disagree? Jim |

It really depends on what and where you're shooting. If you're in the
Badlands, or Utah, it seems like you have about 10 seconds before sunrise and 10 seconds after sunset to get some interesting light. If you're shooting glacial lakes, the sun needs to be fairly high in order to light up the water and give the nice blue-green color. Jay (that's why I like B&W) Wenner |

You've been beaten to a wimpering pulp on this topic by "dadiOH" in the alt.photography thread titled "A novice looking for tips, hints, suggestions and critique., and for good reason. Now you have made the mistake of *multi-posting* the same topic on fishing expedition to at least three newsgroups (I am *properly* crossposting to those (rec.photo.equipment.35mm, rec.photo.misc, and rec.photo.techique.nature), plus I've added alt.photography for readers of the original thread.).
