The first thing to consider is light, magic hour light. The majority of my top nature photos are taken during the magic hour. This is the time around sunrise or sunset. The low sun creates dramatic light and shadows and enhances the visual of most photos. Many times this majestic light creates brightness and contrast, viewers drawn to contrasting elements – a dark subject surrounded by a bright sky.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
– John Muir
