Days with good sunlight

I think there’s a specific term used by photographers, to refer to that moment where the daylight seems to be just right. It’s somewhere around an hour after dawn and an hour before sunset, maybe? Something like that?

Anyhow, this morning, the sky was clear and crisp, and the way the sun lit up everything… it felt like I could do no wrong with photos. I snapped this shot while waiting for the train at the damen stop, and it just seems to pop out at me so much more than many of the pictures I tend to take.

I was watching the birds do their thing again. And honestly, I don’t think this is all that great of a photo – I just love how sharp and crisp everything seems to look, given the sunlight this morning.

// EditThanks to both and Sean (aka Icculus) and Jesseca, for reminding me that the term is The Magic Hour.
