That Glow

Twilight on clear, blue-sky days is one of my favorite times to photograph. I’m talking about that late edge of twilight, when focus starts to struggle and shutter speeds stretch longer and longer. There’s a brief window, maybe ten minutes, where the light takes on this soft, glowing quality. It doesn’t last long, and there’s barely time to think. You’re just responding, trusting instinct. It’s a quiet kind of exhilaration, one that’s hard to explain until you see it appear on the back of the camera.
