Magic Hour

In photography, the Magic Hour(also known as golden hour) is the first and last hour of a sunlight during the day, when a specific photographic effect is achieved with the quality of the light.

The light is softer and warmer in hue, and shadows are longer. When the Sun is near the horizon, sunlight travels through more of the atmosphere, reducing its intensity, so that more of the illumination comes from the sky.

These are some images i took from ikea car park in Manchester where I witnessed a really incredible sunset!I only had my compact camera at the time but found the images were brilliant -even with just auto settings
