Spring is in the air and it’s daylight savings time again. Yippie! One of the things I love about the post daylight savings time days is that they bring lots of opportunity for us to shoot in that wonderful golden light. It seems to last all the way from about four or five o’clock at night until the sun sets which, these days anyway, is now around seven (and growing later each and every night.) I love that. Even if we don’t get a cool sunset, we usually get somewhat of a blue hour this time of year. Oh, be still my heart, how I love me a good blue hour. I live for blue hours, really I do, and that golden light is why I became a photographer in the first place.
Talk of light aside, it’s time for another opportunity weekend. Here are some opportunities for you this week:
