52Frames - Week 39 - Golden Hour

Although very cloudy, I went out to get a specific photo for golden hour at sunset. This was not the scene I originally had in mind; rather I came across some fortuitous athletic activity behind the fence at an adjacent high school sports complex.

A break in the clouds and in the fence provided the opportunity for some selective color only which qualifies for my personal b/w challenge this year.

This is the originally intended shot.

52Frames - Week 36 - Golden Hour

Do I use a crappy streak saver photo I shot at home or one that dances along the edge of golden hour from a more interesting location?

The latter won out.

52Frames - Week 7 - Golden Hour

With single digit temperatures, cloudy skies and snow predicted all this week, the opportunities for a golden hour shot were going to be slim and none.  I was running errands a bit before golden hour and there was a short opportunity to get off a shot that I knew could be adjusted in post.  Not a photo I'm particularly proud of but it keeps the streak alive at 59 weeks.
