Default Fantastic Golden Hour Light

From this shot you can really see why the call it the "golden" hour.

I took this shot in the Peak Distric in the UK at about 5 mins to sunset. It was a really difficult shot to get, not least because I was pearched on top a 50ft cliff. The light was also really tricky as even though the sun was very low in the sky it was still very bright. In person the light was really spectacular but it was one of those times the camera just doesn't see what you see, no mater what settings you pick.

In the end I'm really happy with it though, just as spectacular as in person.

Hi Fletch
Great shot indeed. You've probably seen my thread today but I think your shot has much more interest. Very well done

Great pic, I love the composition with the rock in the foreground, it really gives you a sense of the distance.

Beautiful, Fletch. One of the best I've seen here in a long time. The color and the way the lines in the sky are. Great shot.
