Signs.

I went out shooting this evening at Lake Underhill which is right by my house. The image on this post is probably one of my favorites. You will notice many aspects in this image that I love within a photograph, which includes color, contrast and shadow detail and composition.

The color is that nice golden-hour type golden light that is visible twice daily, during sunrise and sunset. The way that the top road sign effects the light to shape it around the bottom road sign is beautiful. It looks realistic and believable that this picture was taken during sunset. On top of both of those, I admire the nice blue sky in the background.

Golden Hour.

This evening, I went on a walk through the park on Lake Underhill Road, right beside 408. It was around the time that the sun was setting and it was a beautiful sight. I have a photography background...and my favorite time to take pictures would have to be Golden Hour. Golden Hour is when the sun is rising / setting and a nice golden light is cast upon the "world."

It is a great time for portraits...and adds a nice look and feel to the captured images. When the sun was past the horizon, the sky has a very nice "purpleish-blue" tint to it.
