Twilight is my favourite time of day to make images, and aren’t I lucky that I get two chances every day? That period of time before the sun rises is so colourful and peaceful it is sometimes disappointing when the sun floods the scene with its intense rays and I know my time is limited. One technique I like to use to prolong the time period of intense colour is to hide the sun behind something.
I made this image just after the sun rose at Folly Beach in Charleston, South Carolina. By hiding the sun behind one of the pilings, the most intense rays were blocked and the pilings themselves went to total black in silhouette.

Phenomenal colors and light Anne. Truly a masterpiece.
Masterpiece? Wow, thanks Len 🙂 That’s a big compliment.
Fantastic – I loved yesterday’s image of this site, but this is a wonderful vignette of the same place. Colours are rich and exotic, the silhouette is exactly right. Not sure why, but this evokes Japanese art. Brilliant!
Hi Andy, funny you should say that, I was thinking too that it seemed a bit like native art or Japanese art. Thanks very much.
Really nice Anne. I’ve gotta say – twilight is probably my favorite time of day as well!
Thank you Russ!
