September Monthly Challenge - "Magic Hour (Golden Hour)"

It's not much chop at the moment down here in southern Tasmania, overcast and a bit drizzly but I was lucky to get a burst of sunlight in the sky , I liked clouds highlighted with a slash of colour in this one. Ow and first cab off of the rank again, bonus.

 

As the setting sun goes down on the Cadbury chocolate Factory, production continuous on.

 

You have done a lovely job with the setting sun shining through the pines, Ohm.

 

This is definitely different and out of the box, Kevin, looks like you were feeding your camera a weird drug.

 

Cruise juice

 

Craig, interesting photos, both of the clouds and of the houses enhance this month's theme.

 

Ohm, nice photo where the sun sneaks through the branches of the trees.

 

Kevin, I hope you enjoy the cruise, the color palette is just like a sunset.

 

Last day 9, in the middle of the afternoon I went with the camera to take pictures. I went to the rocks where I took several photographs. The first photograph is that of agave, or as they call it in Catalan, Atzvara; Its name comes from the observations made by Christopher Columbus, that there was a plant similar to Aloe, and taking from the name of Aloe, in Arabic from the Maghreb "as-sabàra". Today it is cataloged, here in Spain, as an invasive plant.

The second is the cause of the walk, the Torredembarra lighthouse, built about 30 years ago, as a complement to the port that was also built at that time, and on the way, there is a second pita.

Third, a photograph of the Lighthouse, the boats that can be seen, waiting for the signal to enter the Port of Tarragona, which is the 2nd largest commercial port in Catalonia.

 

Thanks, José. we have had a very wet and cloudy winter and going into spring, it does not improve for some time. Still nothing ventured, nothing gained.

 

José, I always find it interesting your images of your country and your comments on it's history.

 

Craig, thanks for commenting. Now that I am retired, I have discovered the pleasure of reading without haste, and I read a lot, especially history books, fictionalized or not. Also, Wikipedia to read an article that interests me and in the end, the bibliography comes out, to deepen, if I am interested

 

A few days ago I went to the beach early, there were clouds and the sun took longer to look.These are the photographs that I liked the most, the first edited with Capture one and the other that has more colors with Corel After shot 3 and PSP.

 

This time of day, no-matter, where you are can be magical.

 

José, you are blessed to live in a country with so much history going back many generation and be able to visit these areas, we in Australia only have recorded history going back some 200 years, Prior to that it is history handed down by the indigenous people who live as part of nature and limited evidence of their presence is available.

 

Well, I did actually try this month's challenge. And I feel as if I failed. Getting home when it is dark was never going to help in the week.

But I did manage to get the dog to sit still for two minutes while I grabbed this image of her. Sadly, no soft golden light here. But the image was taken as the sun was going down.

No fail here Gary, excellent light and shadow. I particularly like the left side being light but the opposite for the ears. Good one mate.
