The golden hour 17:25 hours

We photographers love the 'golden hour'..the first hour after sunrise and the first hour before sunset.

The low sun is always golden and makes for gorgeous photos.

The golden hour today was about 17:25 hours.

This is St. Mary Church Clock Tower in Arnold.

I've done a very similar shot in monochrome , but I like the golden glow on the stonework

Definitely like the golden tones of this golden hour shot. The stone work really lent itself to this concept.

You always look at light differently with a camera in your hand! Gorgeous shot!

[Juliette Packham]

great golden hour shot - you're so right - when the light is good at these times, it's really good!

I agree about the light at that time. Didn't know it was called the golden hour. I think I caught the golden hour on my pic for today.
