Most hardcore landscape photographers I know wouldn’t be caught dead shooting during the hot midday hours. They say that the light is too strong and the shadows too harsh. What you’d see them do, besides take a siesta, is screw on their infrared filters and shoot IR photographs.

The best time to shoot these kinds of images is during the time when they say it’s not advisable to take a photograph.
