Generally speaking, aerial photography is most effective when done during the early morning or late afternoon, when the sun hits the land at an acute angle rather than from directly overhead, causing the creation of shadows cast by topographic features which project above the normal ground level.
These features can be such things as the remains of ancient walls which may be covered by subsequent soil deposits, hardly visible from the surface --where they appear as just little "bumps"-- but when seen in raking sunlight can clearly be distinguished as man-made features, the outline of buildings.

Sorry, my Google was for "raking light" + "aerial photography", vs. "oblique light" + "aerial photography".
Head to head, a simple search for "raking light" looses out to "oblique light", 24,200 to 28,400.
Pass your cursor over the second .jpg on this page and see how much detail can be seen in an aerial photograph taken under raking light conditions:

| low-angle lighting
Erklärung:
I think friend Bourth has got the definitive answer, but you might just like to consider this as an alternative, or if you need to 'ring the changes'. It's certainly often used in fields outside archaeology.
