Planning a shoot around season and light - tap a step
Dawn
delayed by eastern peaks; soft, cool
Morning
clean eastern light floods the park
Midday
harsh open sun; work the canopy
Late PM
warm raking light on west faces
Dusk
blue hour; lit pagoda vs deep sky
A working method, not a formula. The slow photographer plans the season and the hour first, then lets the place - and the weather - have the final word.
