    Post The Magic Hours

    I'm sure we have all heard someone mention the magic hours when talking about the best time for photographs, especially landscapes. Early in the monrning, or late in the afternoon when the sun is low on the horizon... I was out sitting in a field this afternoon waiting for some deer to come along, when that magic light made the distant hillside come alive. It just so happened that I had taken a shot of the same hillside about a half hour before the light changed. Here are both shots. Both were taken with the same WB setting, and the only PP work I did was to pump up the shadows a little bit (the same amount to each photo.

    It just goes to show that the right light, can make a HUGE differance when it comes to taking photos. These photos aren't anything steller, but for me, they are a good reminder to be patient, and wait for the light!

    "I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view."
