Picture This -- Our Next Assignment
Every day, twice a day, the greatest show on earth takes place on your horizon--sunrise and sunset. While most people are too busy to notice, rushing to work or home, photographers know that these are the golden hours, some of the best times to make natural light photographs. While photos of the glorious sky, clouds, and perhaps even a silhouette framing it all are fine, we're also interested in what happens when you turn your camera to the back or side of the dazzling light, and how the light informs your subjects with a warm or cool mood. So send in your photos and show us all how you spent those precious moments contemplating the light.
