No hour has the same light in a day ( goes without saying), and when working with daylight you gotto understand how it can set the tone for everything.
So your answer may not be so much technical as what it is you are attempting to portray within the photo. |
Quite true. We often lease an old factory in town on a monthly basis to use as studio space...and it has skylighting in one area that provides some excellent natural light. But as you say, it shifts throughout the day and we often have to move around with the setups to accomodate it.
The hour just before sundown is usually the best with the light at a steep angle. It hits the walls just right and highlights the textures beautifully (old brick with peeling paint - the building is over 100 yrs. old and has that wonderfully photogenic decrepit look).
