I would like it to by sunny, but if its not I don't want it to look to shitty out and as long as its a bit warm, I'm down! And U would know about the video so I'll stick with what U tell me! Should be an awesome day eaither way.

so him leaving at 3:30 - 4:00 is pretty accurate

cloudy / overcast is the best it cuts the reflections.. long as it's like 55+like they're saying it'll be warm enough i can't wait for this.. sunny days = **** for pics before of way to much reflection

it's not so much the reflections as it is the shadows, hot spots, and people squinting.

as much as I hate it being cloudy it really is true. its not because of reflections, its cause the sun causes harsh direct light making really bad shadows. if anything photograph in the shade when sunny out. and if you know a little about photography, using reflectors would enhance the lighting in the shade making it look better with less shadow. typically you want overcast always. or even dawn/dusk. but you gotta be careful with dawn/dusk as the light is at a angle and it can be either too little or too much. look at my sig how beautiful the pic came out cause it was overcast. if it was sunny it would look like ****. also when photographing cars, look for clean uncracked unlined pavement. and throw water on the ground around the whole car for enhancement and also reflection for shadows that would normally be on the ground. I read all these tips on a website. I'll have to post it when I get home, cause I'm at work on my sidekick. oh yea another thing that's useful is a polarizer filter. it takes out glare and makes the sky bluer and grass/trees greener depending on how u turn the polarizer.
