52 Clicks | Week 42 | Golden Hour

Last week in our Project 52 we tackled the oh-so-beloved golden hour. This is the type of light most photographers dream of, that golden glow hard to resist. Although there are some of us that struggle with this light, noting how difficult it is to get the skin tones just right. What are your thoughts on this light?

52 Clicks | Week 41 | Overcast

Next up in our Project 52 "Light O'Clock" theme was overcast. This type of light can read dull, drab or boring, so it poses a unique challenge of how to infuse interest and drama. Let's see how the p52 participants fared in this situation.

52 Clicks | Week 40 | Full Sun

We've moved on to Light O'Clock in our Project 52. We will spend the month of October exploring different types of outdoor light. First up is the controversial full sun that people typically either love or hate, with little wiggle room in the middle. Its harshness can make it difficult, but by embracing this type of light, you have so many opportunities to create joyful, vibrant and creative images. Let's see how the p52 participants approached this type of light.
