Every photographer knows there is something special about early morning or evening light. It has warmth, it throws long shadows and has the ability to light-up the landscape.
For a brief while in the evening at this time of the year, the sun finds a gap in the trees to light up the bottom of our garden.
Quite dramatically every blade of long grass gleams, and the leaves on the apple trees β still fresh and young β are rimmed by light.
It only lasts a few minutes but itβs beautiful while it lasts.
My fave is the top pic, much like how I would photograph it…. π What are those lovely flowers?

Thanks Len. Yes, they certainly glow. Our Kitchen window looks out down the garden and when the sun lights up the grass it’s a great sight

It does – it is a great start to the day to see light like that, either through a view finder or with the naked eye.

Thanks Adrian. We seem to have hit a spell of good weather suddenly. Fingers crossed this isn’t the one-week summer!

I always love the way a shaft of light allows the main subject to glow whilst keeping a deeply contrasting dark background. Sweet shots, Andy.

Absolutely right, Mark. Our garden is walled and so there is a natural subdued background and the sun has gone round too far to illuminate it. Works perfectly for allowing a sunlit image to stand out from a shadowy background
