#5 Golden Hour - The Secret to Getting Vibrant Tones

Let’s take a little break from composition rules today. We’re going to talk about a “secret” that the pros use to get vibrant and colorful shots. I say “secret” because not enough beginners take advantage of what we’re going to talk about today. Beginners are usually busy shopping for the latest and greatest camera or hunting for a magic setting that will somehow make their shots look glorious.

Here’s the thing…there is a magic setting. But it’s not in your camera--it's found in nature. Let’s talk about Golden Hour and see how it’s going to make your shots look magical.

Btw, I recently wrote an article for a book published by Escaype, a photography community here in the Bay Area. It’s the story of how I got into Bollywood concert photography. A lot of you have amazing potential to take your photography to unimaginable heights. I hope this story inspires you to write down your goals and intentions and go after your dreams.
