Beauty of Light 5: Fall of Dusk

The direction, colour and intensity of light follows diurnal patterns and the complex, deep-seated feelings associated with these patterns are something which have been hard-wired into our brains over millenia.

Twilight is one of these daily patterns. The shadows lengthen, the light shifts towards the ochre of nostalgia, through vibrant reds to the quiet blue of evening. The ephemeral beauty of the colour shift, the lengthening shadows and the feelings associated with the onset of evening combine to make twilight a special time for photographers.
