id=\"caption-attachment-3548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunset and Twilight, 2006, photos by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Photographers and Cinematographers sometimes use the term &#8220;magic hour&#8221; to refer to times of day when natural daylight takes on special qualities that beautify nearly any setting and imbue it with drama and grandeur. \u00a0Unfortunately the phrase is used inconsistently to refer to times just before or just after sunup or sundown. \u00a0I prefer the terms &#8220;golden hour&#8221; for those times when the sun is just above the horizon, and &#8220;blue hour&#8221; for the time of twilight, when the sun is below the horizon but the sky carries a hint of its glow. \u00a0Of course, &#8220;hour&#8221; is also imprecise, as the duration of the times of magical light depends on season and latitude. \u00a0The tropics may have warm weather all year round, but there the setting of the sun is abrupt. \u00a0In St. Petersburg or in Patagonia, on the other hand, the \u00a0sky can be numinously luminous all day long.<\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Golden_hour_(photography)\" target=\"_blank\">golden hour<\/a>, the sun comes nearly sideways through the atmosphere, passing through significantly more air than when it comes from overhead. \u00a0This softens and diffuses the light, and absorbs many of the short (blue) wavelengths, giving it a warm golden or reddish tone. \u00a0The landscape is illuminated laterally, with raking shadows revealing the texture of surfaces and things.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3550\"

illumination from the sides is usual for dance, as it emphasizes the shapes of the body. \u00a0The warm tone of late afternoon or early morning light has its own glamorizing effect, reducing harshness and making blemishes and wrinkles less visible. \u00a0The softer light doesn&#8217;t make people squint as harsh midday light does, nor does it cast dark shadows under their eyebrows and noses.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3551\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
