The Golden Hour
"The Golden Hour." An hour can't ask for a better name than that, but what is the golden hour exactly? Scientifically, I've heard it said that it is the time when the sun is between 6 degrees below the horizon, and 6 degrees above it. But this guy doesn't trust scientists when it comes to creativity. So for our sake, let's just call it the time right before sunset when the sky is at it's golden best, making a great backdrop for portraits, or landscapes.
Time is money, so what do we do when we don't want to sit around waiting for the Golden Hour to grace the sky with its presence? Why we utilize the Golden Hour Calculator of course!
This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen for a long time. Check it out, and post any links to photos you've taken during the golden hour below!
