001 : GOLDEN HOUR - JULY 2013 PHOTO CHALLENGE

It's our first challenge!

Since this month will only be open to a small handful of invited participants, I thought we would go with a very broad topic, something that each of us could use as a guide to create a vast array of unique photographs but all surrounding a common theme.  The topic is "The Golden Hour", that special time of natural light in the early morning after dawn and early evening right before dusk.  The light isn't too hard or too bright, and everything naturally just seems to look better.

For some education/inspiration, check out this article at Digital Photography School here.

So let this be your push to go out and take more photographs.  Spend a few mornings or evenings out and about with your camera, and try to improve upon every shot you take.  Choose your best one, and send it in!

Rules/Regs/FAQs can be found in the previous posts, but here are some quick notes.

Digital file of your photograph should be emailed to glassburners@enterthedarkroom.com by the 25th of the month.  File should be 72dpi and no wider than 1280 pixels.  Film or instant entries should be scanned and submitted.

Enjoy this challenge!  I can't wait to see the entries, and I can't wait to see what the new challenge will be next month!
