I know that most professional photographers will tell you that the magic "photophylic" hour is during dawn and dusk. Realistically speaking if you are travelling on a dime and do not have the time to be at these places during the magic hour. Unfortunately for me, it was about 10:00 am in the morning with almost clear skies and bright white clouds - in other words really harsh lighting.
Landscape Shots:
To compose the landscape shots, I used a 2-stop Neutral Density Filter by Tifften. Neutral Density Filters allow you to be more flexible with your appeture and exposure time. It actually controls the amount of light that enters to your sensor.
I also considered the light angle. I tried as much as possible to keep the sun either at right angle to the subject or behind me.
I noticed that these techniques reduced over exposure of my images.
The road shot:
I simply set my ISO to about 600 (the higher you go the more noise or grainy you will get). To avoid the bug-splattered windscreen focus on the horizon.
I hope these simple tips will help you.
