Toronto. A new post by photographer Brian Matiash discusses photos taken at the beginning and end of the day. His advice by and large applies to digital today as it did to film years ago. As a kid wet behind the ears, I read that photos around the noon hour must be avoided as the light is too harsh and the shadows too short.
In Brian’s blog for Lightroom you can see the variety of landscape shots that can be recorded at sunrise or sunset. His article brings to mind the sunsets I took about 60 years ago with their riot of cloudy colours.
The title of Brian’s post brings to mind the famous song “Sunrise, Sunset” from play and film “Fiddler on a Roof”. I saw the play at the O’Keefe Centre here around 1964 and the movie on TV just recently. The play was far more memorable to me. I like the minimalist approach taken in a play; using light and shadows to great effect – like photos at sunrise and sunset.
