Magic- Gold!

The weather and sky cooperated this year when I needed to photograph Magic Hour or the Golden Hour for 52Frames, which is really possible twice during the day, dawn and dusk.

Here's the photo I chose. Following are some others I really liked.

"Setting in Gold"
I managed to be out just as the sun set and the sky turned a warm gold. That doesn't happen everyday. We have some of the most gorgeous sunsets here in Shiloh.

Camera: Canon Canon IXUS 145
Location: Shiloh, Israel

It was nice to have a big choice but hard to choose.

These would have given me the Extra Credit since it's sunrise, but I thought the sunset was a better photo. Was I wong?

Magic aka Golden Hour for 52Frames

This week's challenge/theme for 52Frames was the Magic aka Golden Hour when the rise and/or fall of the sun causes a series of color changes.

I ended up submitting a photo of the sunrise taken from my house. I must admit that I have a perfect view of the dawn.

Here are a few of the other photos I thought captured the special light.

Dusk, Sha'ar Binyamin

Netivot Shopping Center, notice the golden color of the building.

Netivot, note how the trees turned red from the dusk, pre-sunset light

Jerusalem of Gold, note the golden cast on the buildings. I rejected this photo, because of the cluttering interference of electric and whatever lines.
