The time of day you shoot is just as much a part of your image as is the subject matter. Here the shadows add a bit of intrigue and mystery to this photograph of Bodie California.
Ghost Towns make for great subjects and the lighting is important. If I shot this during mid-day the feel would be completely different, with little to no shadows and lacking depth.
This would have resulted in a harsher look.
That wasn't what I was after so I waited for the lighting to change. In waiting, I was able to explore the town a bit and get to know the subject matter. Then when the light was just the way I wanted, I was able take full advantage of it and achieve better results.
