 The Golden Hour at Rocky Mountain National Park

    The Golden Hour at Rocky Mountain National Park

   Photographer:  Pete Claussen
   Summary Author:  Pete Claussen
   One morning several weeks back, I got up early specifically to
   photograph the  Golden Hour, in Colorado’s  Rocky Mountain
   National Park. This is the period during sunrise when the color of the
   sky transitions from red and orange to yellow, or, as its name
   suggests, to golden tones. Within this brief window, sunlight is
   diffuse, and shadows are soft. Because there’s relatively little
   contrast, the lighting is nearly ideal for landscape photography. Photo
   taken on November 18, 2020.
   Photo Details: Camera: NIKON Z 7; Software: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
   Classic 10.0 (Windows); Exposure Time: 0.033s (1/30); Aperture: ƒ/8.0;
   ISO equivalent: 64; Focal Length (35mm): 55; Lens: NIKKOR Z 24-200mm
   f/4-6.3 VR
