In the summer the sun is high and light can be harsh by 9am. This may be the look that you want, but I like to be out on location well before sunrise and after sunset - when the glowing orange light creates a warmer, softer image and long shadows add interesting texture. (Dawn at Delaware Bay, USA)
Here's an old one that I just stumbled across!! 15 years ago I filmed ammonites with Steve Leonard for a TV series called 'Journey of Life' - my first BBC shoot. This was a replica that we used to show how big ammonites could grow. Made of polystyrene it squeaked as we rolled it down the beach at Lyme Regis. The look of gob-smack on the faces of jurassic coast fossil collectors was priceless! #BBC #EarthOnLocation #Ammonite #Fossil #JurassicCoast #Jurassic #Giant
