✨ Happy June!! ✨
A new month brings a new creative challenge, and for June, we’re celebrating one of photography’s most beautiful lighting conditions.
📸 June Theme: Golden Hour
Capture an image during Golden Hour — the magical light that occurs just before sunset and just before sunrise. Think warm tones, long shadows, glowing landscapes, backlit portraits, city scenes bathed in soft light, or any moment transformed by the beauty of the sun’s low angle.
Your interpretation can be literal or creative. All photography styles are welcome, whether you shoot film or digital.
Creative Focus: Light & Atmosphere
Pay attention to how light shapes your image. Use the warmth, color, and mood of Golden Hour to create a photograph that stands out and tells a story.
Bonus Challenge:
Use Golden Hour light to create dramatic shadows.
(Complete the bonus challenge to earn points toward the 2026 Bonus Point Champion!)
