I love sunsets. The sky and the sea are painted with such great colors and it is fairly called the golden hour. It is also known as “magic hour” but in photography, the first hour of light after sunrise, and the last hour of light before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer, we prefer the term the golden hour.
At those specific timeframes we can achieve a great effect. We can create a silhouette of a subject which is back-lighted from the sun. In photography, a silhouette is defined as an outline that appears dark against a light background. More specifically, it is where our subject is seen as a black shape without detail against a brighter background. This effect can be achieved with any kind of bright light source, but the most commonly used is the sun around sunrise or sunset.
These past few days, I have been going for a walk along the sea shore during sunset and the view it’s just breathtaking!
