"And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work,"

Exodus 28:6

You can really take pictures all day long. We often like to think that the bright of the day is the best time for scenics, and to a large degree, yes. But what if you want to really accent your Image with a special touch, namely to add a depth to it and make it more dynamic. It all has to do with what time you shoot. You have two opportunities in the morning and two in the evening; for both dawn and dusk. It's called the Golden hour and Blue hour. All you have to do is show up on time.

The Golden hour takes place roughly an hour after dawn and roughly an hour before sunset. The low angle of the sun gives off a really beautiful - wait for it - golden color that will really add a dramatic touch to the scenery. If we look at a lot of our favorite scenic images, we more than likely will find quite a few taken during these times. The shadows and the way the light reflects off of the landscape is truly special and well worth the effort.
