For photographic purposes, considering conditions of strength of the light, and other factors, one can roughly divide North America into four, broad, horizontal strips. In the uppermost tier you will find the most ideal photographic time in August and September, and this band includes practically all of Canada. In the next tier you would find the states which lie from the Canadian line on the north to the southern boundary of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado (because of its altitude), Nebraska, Iowa, most of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. July and August are the best months in this band. Dropping down on the map the third tier would include Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Kansas, Northern Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentuck}T, Tennessee, the Virginias, Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina. May or September. The lowest tier would include the balance of the states, and here as a general thing, you will find January, February and April your most ideal months for filming. [ 116
