Good practical information. Thanks.

[@SeanGallagherPhotographer]

Glad it was helpful!

Here's something weird (and possibly inadvertent) Sean... i've extracted something quite significant (for me) from a scene in your intro. I've taught myself to shoot, although not exclusively, with both eyes open. A little tricky at first - shifting the emphasis from the visual field of one to the other, but it has got progressively smoother. So thank you - there are times when it really makes a difference. Cheers.

[@SeanGallagherPhotographer]

Yes, sometimes it helps to have both eyes open to take in the general scene first and then when you've picked your moment you can focus in with one eye.

LOVED IT!!

Mr Gallagher... 'Golden Hour' - you've travelled a bit; would you say that GH is best understood as being a period that varies in duration dependent on Latitude?

[@SeanGallagherPhotographer]

Yes, your latitude will certainly determine the time you have to play with in terms of the golden hour. Always adapt your shooting schedule depending on your geographical location.
