HT2024 - Which Way the Shadows Fall

All of us are sensitive to the angle of the sun when we are out photographing. I find it more useful to think in terms of which way the shadows fall. The sun itself is rarely in my pictures, but every picture has its shadows. Said another way, shadows are a part of the visual composition, the sun is usually outside of the composition.
