Weekly Photography Assignment: The Golden Hour

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 189: The Golden Hour

Our theme this week is the Golden Hour. Golden hour is the hour just after sunrise and before sunset, when the sun lights everything in warm golden tones – a photographers dream. Landscapes, macro, and birds, it all looks amazing at this time of day, get out and show us what you can find!

Here are some tutorials to help you:
