Assignment+17

=**Golden Hour/ Magic Hour**=

This week we are going to focus on lighting. As lighting is the basis for all photography. Without light you could not have a photograph. How you capture light affects how your photograph comes out. Remember you are creating visual poetry with your work proper lighting conveys a feeling.

This week's assignment is to take a photograph at the "magic hour". The first period is the half hour **before** the sun rises above the horizon in the morning and a half hour after it rises.
 * Magic Hour**

The second period is the half hour **before** the sun sinks below the horizon in the late afternoon and a half hour **after** it sets.

During these periods, the light that is generally produced is a beautiful light that is a favorite of landscape and nature photographers. In fact it is widley know that photographic editors at National Geographic and other photographic publications will not even look at your work unless it is taken during these two magic hours.

So I thought I would give you a heads up and you can start this weekend. Rise and Shine!! [|**The Golden Hour**] [|Importance of shadows] [|**The Golden Hour**] [|Art Wolf photography] [|Art Wolf Photos]
