As you say, Google Maps helps me familiarise myself with the location and then I tend to use the sun calculator to work out when to go there for a photo.

All depends on how much time I have though, and if I'm trying to clear a list of "needs" or "last photographs" (in which case I tend to take more 'repetitive' photographs).

Spending a few hours on one bus service and just hopping on and off is a great way to do it too, although you'll find that you're sometimes limited if you want the sun at the right angle.

Each to their own at the end of the day, but I find that's much more entertaining. I'm getting to ride the buses (whilst getting the opportunity to catch up on Social Media, play games, etc) whilst also taking a good variety of photographs.


As someone who likes viewing other enthusiasts' photographs, I can't put myself through looking at a repetitive stream of photographs taken one after the other. I suspect others are the same, which is why I tend to provide as much variety as possible. Others achieve this by uploading in batches of five every few hours...
