A few months ago, I just happened to look out the window and the sky had a very pink color to it. It was very quick and disappeared within minutes and at that time I didn't have my camera ready. However, this time with the image below, I was at Middle Pond of Congamond Lakes, shooting long exposures, and shortly after a quick thunderstorm, near sunset and golden hour, the color of the sky became a soft golden light. One of the unique features of golden hour is its warmth sunlight that travels through more of the atmosphere at a low angle, absorbing blue light and letting golden, orange, and red hughes pass through it.
