GOLDEN HOUR PHOTOS DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY. Photograph one hour before sunset.. Around 6 oclock!

Next Shoot is Golden Hour Focused on Portraits. 
My absolute favorite time to photograph anything is a time of day called the Golden Hour. The Golden Hour occurs during the time just before sunset, and just after sunrise. When the sun is lower in the sky, near the horizon, it must travel through more of the atmosphere, reducing the intensity of direct light and thus reducing the contrast in the scene. More blue light is scattered, so sunlight will appear reddish and shadows won’t be as deep as when the sun is higher in the sky. In addition, the lower angle of the sun creates longer shadows, which can add interest to images.

HAPPY NATIONAL PRETZEL DAY!

Thanks for everyone that participated in our celebration.

• A common origin story of pretzels is that they were created by a monk around 610 in Italy. According to The History of Science and Technology, the monk baked strips of dough that he folded into a shape resembling a child crossing its arms in prayer.
• National Pretzel Day is not actually a national holiday – yet. But that might be because it is so new.
• While the pretzel’s history can be traced back more than 2,600 years, the unofficial holiday reportedly first came into existence about 30 years ago. But the dough really got rolling in 2003 when then-Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell acknowledged the pretzel’s importance to the state’s history and economy.

Pretzel People!
