Photos taken this evening at the intersection of Dundas Street and University Avenue, while waiting for the streetcar. All shots are using a little old Samsung U510.
The golden hour in photography is the first or last hour of sunlight in a day that photographers often aim to shoot in, since the sun’s position produces a soft and warm light with longer shadows. The Golden Hour Calculator is a useful website that can help you calculate the golden hour(s) for your location, telling you exactly when the sun rises and sets.

Yesterday I took a person new to photography (see how much I dislike the word “newbie”?) out for an hour of instruction with her camera, teaching her how to use it, combined with some technical information. I may be doing more of this, as a number of people have expressed interest in learning how to use their cameras. This is actually something I’ve been thinking about for a while, but I prefer hands-on, one-on-one instruction rather than a group. It’s time-intensive, though, which is why I haven’t arranged it. Managing time is a juggling act if I want to have a balanced life.
