I don't have a favorite per sey. but I know I definitely want to get out and shoot during a storm that shows the raw power of water. For example going to Maine at one of the light houses or Arcadia National Park.
When is your favourite time to go out and shoot?

Hi all
I love to get out and shoot street at night, I love the atmosphere and the colours of the bars and restaurants especially on a wet night.
when is you go to time to go out and shoot it doesn’t have to be a time in the day it could be a season too
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

At a minimum I have a routine. I like to get up early on Saturday ("Like is pretty strong, but once I'm out I'm happy, lol). I can get into town or to trails before it becomes too busy. I will sometimes check out the light rail routes and pick out a coffee shop near one of the stations and start the day there. I like night shooting also, but I rarely get out to do it, because it's "late" :). Sometimes I have an objective, sometimes not, but usually Friday night I plan out what I might want to work on - maybe something on film, maybe a particular theme, etc - and then pick a spot and see what I can see.

I enjoy the fall and winter. It gets dark earlier which gives me more golden hour opportunities. I work mornings usually, so after work I can drive around for an hour or two and get very nice light. THEN I can go home and sit with my cats too and sleep allllllmost on time. Lol
I enjoy nights a lot too, so I try to shoot at night once a month, or once every other month too.

I like night-time too - although it's been a while since I shot at night - I need to get out more!

@Ian Hamer Nice atmospheric shots, I like your black and white treatment too nice work

I like daytime, specifically weekends, in three parks in my city in addition to wherever I happen to be traveling. I think I like natural subjects, landscapes, and animals most of all. But sometimes those don’t all necessarily cooperate with the camera! As for seasons, I worship summer but fall is my favorite season and November has long been my favorite month.

@Ron Howard Love the Autumnal colours of the trees

I like fall and winter and blue hour into night. Now I will also force myself out into the harshness of midday sun with my mind on shadows and contrast. I also like drizzly, gray, cloudy, or foggy weather. 🤷
Funny thing though, when I do manage to get out for morning light. I like it so much that I declare I'm going to get more morning scenes and then don't change my patterns at all. 🤦😂

@Nisah Cheatham Great shots, it’s a funny thing I remember getting up at 4am once to get a sunrise and said the very same I think I managed two outing me before the call one the pillow over took the want for getting out lol
Nisah Cheatham on
@Lee Churchill HAHA! Probably the most likely way I would get sunrise shots is if I just stayed up all night. 😂
