Shadows in the clock tower

Some important photography tips I have come to realize through the photos I have taken

* the best time to shoot is early mornings and late afternoon or eveing.

* Use a polarizing filter if the sun is at right angles to the camera view. It will emphasize the contrast with the blue areas of the sky

* Long shadows can pickup subjects dramatically against the backdrop.

* Dense clouds diffuse light while thin high clouds helps to slightly soften the portrait
* Mercury vapor lighting can be cast out using a red filter
