Taking advantage of late afternoon sun

I always try to use either the first 3 hours of morning sun or the corresponding evening sun, to take advantage of the shadows and the rich color of light. I see so many people snapping photos at noon. Especially in the case of portraits. That high sun will usually cause unwanted effects. At noon I use a flash, which might seem counterintuitive, but it'll wash out the harsh shadows that exaggerate wrinkles. At the least, try to find a shady spot to photograph your friends. They'll be glad you did.
