Generally in photography, shooting during the middle of the day is usually avoided because of harsh lighting and less vibrant colors. Early morning and late afternoon/evening light is considered more flattering, making colors more saturated and softening shadows. (Please forgive me if I sound like I'm giving a bad photography lecture I'm just trying to be clear.) I am in no way implying that PJ didn't know what he was doing. I'm sure it was meant to emphasize the Hobbits' happy, sunny, shadow-free life in comparison to the metaphorically darker times to come. I just felt that the shire didn't look as pretty as I had imagined. Especially after seeing some of the pictures posted here by tornsibs who had visited the set. Many of their pictures were quite beautiful and much closer to my image of the Shire, mainly, I think, because the lighting in their pictures was warmer and softer. I do think some of the shots in the film of Hobbiton were very pretty, such as the sunlight glinting off the petals of flowers. But overall, and this is just my dumb opinion, the lighting looked too harsh and the colors too faded, and thus Hobbiton didn't look as pretty and idealistic as it could have. I hope I didn't offend.
