With low light or night time photography you will get a warm effect with your picture. A good example of a very nice photo with low light is a city skyline just after the sun sets because the sky has a very nice color of red or pink or orange. With low light you have to consider that the photo may come out with very dark parts of the print.
This is an example of a photo taken with low light. As you can see that most of the picture is dark but the middle part which is the most important part of the photo(the focus point)

Sun Light
When taking photos outside using sunlight, the best time is when the sun is low in the sky. It is recommended to try and get the sunlight on the side of your subject. You can use the sun as a back light but you have to be careful not to get the glare of the sun in your lens or that the sun doesn't give too much light on the subject blending the light colors with the sky.
This picture of kids at a playground was taken in midday with the sun low in the sky as suggested.
Many photos with sunlight are shown on this website: http://www.geofflawrence.com/photography_tutorial_available_light.php
