The Golden Hour

"In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_hour_(photography)

I decided yesterday to find a field where I could capture this golden hour, and I was successful!

As you may or may not know, I recently bought my first DSLR camera (EOS Rebel SL-1, white body). As a child, I always had a point and shoot, and sometimes I would play with my mom's Nikon. I have hemmed and hawed over purchasing one, as they are quite expensive, especially compared to a point and shoot. But, I had wanted one for a very long time and finally I decided it was time. I got a great deal too, it came with another lens (long lens) and a camera bag, all for $600! I think I saved myself well over $300.
But anyway, I am trying to improve my amateur photography skills and possibly earn some extra income with my new and improved skills!
So I had an idea to capture the golden hour.
