Late afternoon
All months are suitable to photograph along Market Street.
Visit in the late-afternoon when the sun dips behind the buildings, resulting in a nice slice of light across Market Street.

Field tips

By standing on the MUNI island you can avoid the traffic chaos on Market Street and get a unique perspective that puts you above car level.
By using a wide-angle lens (16mm) you’ll be able to incorporate most of the surrounding buildings.
Notice the cable car wires above? These and the road help lead the viewer into the center of the image. Experiment with ways to incorporate those lines into your composition.
