If you ask any photographer, they will tell you: "Golden Hour is that time just after sunrise or just before sunset when the light is infused with red and gold tones, making the light softer and warmer. A great time for creating photographic portraits." What they won't tell you: that time isn't really "an hour" and the light and color temperature is constantly changing. I got some of my favorite portraits back in the day during that time around sunset.
If you ask any medical professional, they will tell you: "The first hour after the occurrence of a traumatic injury, considered the most critical for successful emergency treatment." Not my field of expertise. Just trying to be thorough with these definitions.
Murphy and I were out in the courtyard during "Golden Hour" today. I wasn't planning on shooting anything, so all I had with me was my iPhone. The images would be better if using a longer lens and a shallower depth of field, but... ya use what ya got.
And, Murphy is not a patient poser like his predecessors. He hopped up on the hot tub (yes, the lid is always closed when it isn't being used), and I couldn't resist shooting a bunch of images. Here's a few...
A mostly back-lit profile...
He stayed up there for at least 10 minutes; not typical for this boy... unless he's napping. He got a lot of outdoor time today. Joan and I were out during the 12:00 to 2:30 time (lunch out, and some errands on the way home) - that meant Murphy got to go out other times during the day.
