The Golden Hour

My favourite times of day, along with most of the photographic community, are the two extremes - the Blue Hour and The Golden Hour. Discovered a Golden Hour and Blue Hour online calculator  and app. I love to remain behind once others have darted off to breakfast, to luxuriate in the effect of the sun's golden rays bathing the rocks with an intense Midas like light .

Time Lapse Photography

Until I serendipitously encountered another photographer yesterday I'd never been particularly interested in time lapse sequences, but I think I could easily become an addict given that one shot really doesn't capture the light changing experience adequately. Kurnell's rocky outcrops are perfect for experimentation given the limited numbers of humans who frequent the clifftops - another big bonus in my book. The lightstalking site seemed to have some good advice for beginners .

The Magic Hour

“..........Twice each day the cool, blue light of night interacts with the warm tones of daylight.
Luckily for color photographers, these events, though predictable, are not consistent.
For a full hour at either end of the day colors of light mix together in endless combinations, as if someone in the sky were shaking a kaleidoscope...........”
Galen Rowell (1940-2002)
