October 2017 Meeting

Thursday, October 12, 2017 - 6:00pm
1180 Pepsi Place
Judge: 
Denise Silva
Theme: 
Golden Light

Photography is all about light, and the quality of light can make the difference between an OK and a “wow” image. The golden hour, approximately the first hour after sunrise and the last before sunset, is when the color of the light shows red and orange to yellow or, as its name suggests, a golden or “warm” color temperature. Golden lighting is often soft, diffused and with little contrast, since the sun is low in the sky. This type of light is ideal for both landscape and portrait photography. Try Googling golden light photography for some examples and tips.
