CLICK: Golden Hour
due Mon. 9/19 (Pd. 1 & 4B), Tue 9/20 (Pd. 4A)
The golden hour is the first hour of light before sunrise, and the last hour of light before sunset.
WHAT MAKES IT MAGICAL?
During these times the sun is low in the sky, producing a soft, diffused light which is much more flattering than the harsh midday sun that so many of us are used to shooting in.
ALLOW PLENTY OF SETUP TIME - When the golden hour starts, it starts surprisingly suddenly, so it's essential that you're prepared. Get to your shooting location with plenty of time to spare, even if that means getting up in the middle of the night.

-Portrait
-Self Portrait
-Landscape
-Still life
-Cityscape
-Principle of Composition
