The Golden Hour

Ask any photographer what time would be the best time to take dramatic pictures and they would unanimously answer without hesitation -- the Golden Hour.  I'm also not that familiar with this Golden Hour concept until last year during our trip to Boracay.  During that time, I began to appreciate what is so golden about those hours after the sun sets.

Here are some of my favorite shots:

More pix after the jump...
And just a few months ago, during our trip to Tagaytay, I was able to take some Golden Hour shots from the People's Park n the Sky:

Golden, indeed!
