Hey just wondering - what's your favourite time of day to shoot in? At different times of day, the sunlight produces a different effect in your photos.

sunset is quite nice...
youcan obtain very nice sihlouette effects when the sun is just below the horizon.

twilight

Oh I should indicate my preference as well shouldn't it?

I love shooting at night - just amazing how you can capture the different colours, and especially reflections over water.

Just looks a bit funny though, walking around at night with your camera and tripod (and beanie sometimes coz it's too cold in winter) in public places...

Late afternoon and onwards, but I am really limited with my parents being tight a$$es =(, I'd love to do some night photopgrahy and do some shots like those of Sydneyhardbour posted by shuttertalk over in the showoff thread =)

Mmmm .. yah nighttime is quite nice.. .the super long exposures u can do at night give interesting effects... yah .. shotting at night seems a but stalkerish .. but oh wellz.. its all for the love of photography ^_-

I like long exposures at night because it brings out qualities which you can't see with your eye.
You can create illusions, painting with light. Same with day, but I like the colours of lights at night. For day, I love blue skies (Peter witnesses me getting excited over blue skies)

[peter]

Yes ..adam loves blue skie .. but then again so do i ..

i made this one extra blue ...

yeah .. its pretty useful having AE lock ...

Btw ... the swan river doesnt normally look like that .. hehe

[adam]

Artificial blue skies aren't that appealing though; haha, just as long as you dont over-do it

Blue skies is something you can't do at night
But at night, with long exposures, you can get a nice purple sky.
For hand-held shooting, I like shooting on bright sunny days, then I can set it to ISO 100 and not have any problems with slow shutter speed causing blurred pictures.
