Week 31: Magic Hour!
Extra Challenge: Sunrise
“Lost – yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.”
~ Horace Mann
No reward… unless you’re a photographer! Hands down, this is one of the best photography tips out there in the world, and which you can take advantage of immediately: Magic Hour is magical.
Sometimes referred to as “Golden Hour,” it refers to the time just after sunrise or just before sunset. To be clear – it is not necessarily an hour; the duration depends on your latitude and season. Technicalities aside, there’s a reason it’s a photographer’s dream: the sun is low in the sky and casts a beautiful, warm, orange glow to everything it touches. Skin tones look beautiful, shadows are softer, and the world seems just a bit happier. Whether you shoot landscape or cityscape, portraiture or architecture, we want you to capture the glow of magic hour – in nature, in your city … wherever – just head outside and make some magic!

Extra Challenge: Sunrise
At least once a year, we think every photographer should get up and photograph the sunrise. The world is asleep, the sky is aglow, and your canvas is ready to be painted. This week, we’re giving you an extra nudge with the extra credit. (Also, this way there are no “I’ll be at work!” excuses for missing the afternoon magic hour!) Pack your camera bag and lay out your clothes before you go to bed!
Remember, you are only submitting ONE photo per week. It is not necessary (and sometimes not possible) to work in this Extra Challenge into your submission. It’s extra challenge!

Remember, you can only submit photos taken during the week of the challenge!
