I am a little obsessed with the golden hour (right before sunset)- and especially with the backlighting available on our deck in the very early part of the golden hour. We get some great tree bokeh, so it is fast becoming my favorite place for family photos (well, at least in summer). Tonight we celebrated our son’s birthday a week early before he heads out of town, so here is his golden hour photo. Happy Birthday, Matt!
f/7.1, 1/125, ISO 640, 95mm
