The window is small to capture sunrise and sunset shots, as the sun moves quickly, and the quality of light changes rapidly, due to atmospheric conditions. The light is at it's most dramatic just before it peaks the horizon at sunrise, and after it dips at sunset. At this time the sun is low, and the light is scattered, creating a beautiful, diffused glow. I always arrive early to capture the best light. I often look for locations with interesting foregrounds, and backdrops that compliment the monring and evening colourful event, on the prairies, that can be difficult to find. You can never take to many shots at each magical hour, as you will never capture the same shot twice. The golden or magic hour period, creates stunning images, with rich colours and dramtic shadow. Mother Nature truly is remarkable! Today there are mobile phones which have sophisticated cameras, which take stunning shots. For me I Love my DSLR bridge camera. -

Module 5 'This was a challenge, I'm not sure whether or not I managed to get all the shadows right, but hey, it was fun . I chose a photograph of butterflies in the Butterffly House at the Otago Museum, in Dunedin. It is an amazing experience to walk amongst butterflies; they will land anywhere - on your shoulder, your head, your hand, wherever they choose I tend to be reminded of the changes they go through in their lives, from the caterpillar to the stunning creatures they become. The kit I used was Jessica Dunn's Crafty Evening mini kit and the alpha is Brooke Gazarek's Distressed Alpha Tan. The kit didn't have a dark paper, so I chose to select a rectangle and, on a new layer, poured white, and bringing that layer's opacity back below 20%. I didn't want the text to be dark, so chose white in Garamond on a white paper. -

thank you so much. Sunrise happens so quickly it seems, sometimes I look out and think I should go get the camera and I do, but when i get back, it's changed and not as good as it was. -

Yes, I agree, I have also found out about some Affinity tutorials through the last bootcamp. -
