A bright cloudy day will give you a good clear image without harsh
shadows. If you like harsh shadows (they are prototypical), then a
bright sunny day would work. One thing to be aware of is to make sure
that all the shadows on adjacent buildings and telephone poles are
tilting in the same direction at the same angle. There is only one sun
and all the shadows "move" in unison as the day progresses.
While the famous John Allen had a wonderful layout, more than one
person has noted that some of his smokestacks emanate emissions
which "flow" toward the left while other smokestack's smoke drifts
toward the right. Very unprototypical. Make all the smoke blow in the
same direction.
Same basic prinicple for clouds: make sure the downwind side of all
clouds is in the same direction. Yep, the downwind side of a cloud
does look a bit different than the upwind side. Especially with storm
clouds.
More info than you probably wanted, but what the heck -- it's free!.
Have fun....Ed L.
