Meadowhall shopping centre is easily signposted from the M1, follow these signs, park in the car park and then there are a few ways of getting to the station, I always go through Marks and Spencer in the Shopping centre, and then walk over a big white bridge to the station, which is also a bus interchange.

You can leave your car in the Meadowhall centre car park, beware of the times the centre shuts though, because the car park will be locked at this time. There are loads of places to park, so do not worry about spaces.

Meadowhall is easy accessible by Public transport, trains that stop at Meadowhall are to be caught from; Sheffield, Rotherham, Swinton (S.Yorks), Leeds, Manchester, Grimsby, Doncaster, Stockport, you can easily go the Doncaster or Sheffield and change there, as they both are nearby and have good transport connections.

Light is not usually a problem as there are four platforms, 2 main and 2 on the Barnsley branch. Videoing is fine too, you can just move around as the sun moves.
Beware of fast trains!
