The Golden Hour

One section of our upcoming ebook, Beyond the Horizon: Finding Unique Perspectives in Landscape Photography Volume 2, will focus on the magical time for photography, the "golden hour". This period occurs just after sunrise and just before sunset, where the light is soft and warm, creating a beautiful golden glow that can transform any landscape into a stunning work of art.

Timothy Poulton is an expert in taking advantage of the golden hour to capture breathtaking images of nature. He skillfully uses diffused light and long shadows to create a sense of depth and texture in the scene, while warm colours are enhanced, resulting in vibrant and eye-catching photographs. The flaming red of the sky captured here is one of the Holy Grails of landscape photographers.

In the photograph "Flaming Lamborghini," Timothy experiments with different angles and compositions to capture a unique and compelling image during the golden hour. The light, just bathing the mountain peak in a golden glow, captivates the eye.

The golden hour is a crucial time to capture the essence of nature and create your own breathtaking images.
