Don't worry. I'll look at it, then close my eyes for three seconds, then reopen them.

There! Saved you a whole load of running around.

When you do, take the photo in the last hours of daylight (or first hours of day) as the light will be much warmer and the shadows longer giving more contrast to the land etc.

Can you work out, from the shadows on the ground, whereabouts the sun was?

As Tp says, if the sun is higher you won't get the same effect.

It looks misty in the far valleys, do you tend to get that in the mornings?

Hasn't that got a name like "the photographers magic hour" or something?

Edit of the Edit: I was half right the first time, Golden Hour = After sunrise, Magic Hour = just before sunset

Yes, exceptions to all rules not withstanding, but if you think of any notable views/vistas, you'll often find photographers queuing and jostling for the best positions before dawn breaks or as the sun starts to drop. People often think bright sunshine is great for photography, but generally speaking it isn't, it can be an exposure nightmare as you'll often get flare (no data) etc. Its why Bride, Groom and families love sunny wedding days, but wedding photographers don't! They often prefer the sun behind cloud to get a nice even diffused light, etc blah. A lot of pro photographers know a fair bit about meteorology and use it for good effect...

Yep. Golden Hour, or as I know it, the hour when your teenage daughter disappears on holiday to take a few thousand selfies to post on social media, complete with mandatory 'Insta-pout'.

Googling my Dad's name, came up with this:
https://www.ttracepics.com/triumph/alan ... 06627.html

Still not quite sure why he was listed as Alan. He hadn't used the name 'Alan' (to the best of my knowledge) for about 50 years, he always told me he hated it.

He could do well at the church summer fete - that challenge where you have to move the loop along a wire.
