Golden Hour Bluebells 1
Why, as photographers, do we consistently get up at such an early and often unreasonable hour, often referred to as 'stupid o’clock' in the morning? Well, the answer lies in the fundamental essence of photography itself, which is all about capturing the interplay of light and shadow.
During that enchanting golden hour, the early morning light offers the perfect opportunity to take those breathtaking shots that we all aspire to achieve. The warmth of the light at this time bathes everything in golden hues, which cascade beautifully across the bluebell-covered woodland floor, creating a striking and serene atmosphere. Additionally, the large, towering trees introduce shadows that add depth and contrast to the image, enhancing the visual impact between the illuminated and darker areas.
Finally, employing a 1:1 crop effectively removes any surrounding distractions, allowing your eye to be drawn into the heart of the photograph, navigating through the trees and engaging with the scene in a more intimate manner.
