The Golden Hours – How to find them

So if you don’t know much about photography, you’re probably wondering what the heck I’m babbling about now.  I’m talking about the magical hours around sunrise and sunset where the light gets so ideal that you can shoot anything and your pictures come out with a soft glow of lovliness.

If you’re shooting on your home turf, you’ve probably figured out these times on your own.  But they do vary by season and you’re not always on your home turf.  What if you need to know when the golden hours are in your vacation spot?

The internet of course, the source of all knowledge and wisdom!  Go to The Golden Hour calculator.  It knows where you are now and will tell you where your local golden hours are.  So if you go there from your vaca spot, it’ll show you when you should be out at the beach taking pictures of the surf and eventually the sunrise or sunset.

It’s a handy way to plan some great shutterbugging.  So check out your golden hours then get out there and get some great pics.  Or at least give yourself a better chance at some great pics!
