The Magic Hour or Golden Hour is my favorite time to shoot both photographs and videos. I find that the light has a special look and feel during that time, that enhances the look of my photographs. The light becomes warmer with golden tones and becomes softer and more diffuse.
When I shoot Magic Hour, I plan my shoots so that I am ready to starting photographing 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after sunrise and sunset. The light is constantly changing during that time, so I set all my gear up to quickly capture the moment. While this is wonderful for those photographs, there are times when I want to add that look and feel to photographs that were not shot during Magic Hour. With Perfectly Clear I can recreate some that look and feel, fine-tuning the settings, that result in a richer, warming looking photograph.
