In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is the first and last hour of sunlight during the day,when a specific photographic effect is achieved with the quality of the light.

The light doesn’t hit the object straight but hits with an angle.And this makes the photo with perfect quality.It gives ambiance,a touch of romance,…….

Well you make think this period lasts for an hour but not.From my experience for years,it would be good not to call it Golden Hour but Golden Minutes.You only have a few minutes to get the perfect lighting qualitiy..It is better for you to look over the below photos to see what i mean.
But before that,there is a web site which you can calculate the Golden Hour for a specific location.The Golden Hour Calculator As you may understand,it calculates the sunrise and sunset time of your location.It determines your place automatically from your IP number shows you the time of Golden Hour.

Baby Gelada, Ethiopia

Once they’re three months old, geladas ride their mothers jockey-style. Females have just four or five babies in a lifetime but invest a lot of time and energy taking care of them—it’s a ‘quality, not quantity’ strategy, says biologist Chadden Hunter, who has spent parts of the past six years with the animals in Ethiopia(From “Final Edit,” November 2002, National Geographic magazine)

Tiger Carrying Cub, India

Anyway,many professional photographers took unbelievable photos during the eruption and show us  how strong the nature is.Today i want to showcase some of these photos.For me, the scary part is the ravages of this eruption and at the end of this post you can see these photos.

3.Daredevil, India

Photograph by Chris Shirley

Story:The actual name of this is “The well of death.” Just look all the missing planks and holes in the “well.” On hindsight, being up there was probably a bad idea.

4.Marines Training

Photograph by Jeremy Lock

Story:As President Obama talks with his advisors on the possibility of sending more American troops to Afghanistan, the Marines at Parris Island, SC, train harder than ever. Exhausted new recruits maneuver under barbed wire and through a training course on October 15, 2009.

5.Bangalore Hip Hop

Photograph by Sudha Pillai

Story:Homegrown hip hop bands are a new phenomenon in Bangalore, India. Low Rhyderz is the first hip hop band in the city that combines elements of Indian beats with hip hop rhythms to create a music that is unique. This photograph was taken when they were fooling around in a car mechanic shop. Obviously, the mechanic found the entire scene “interesting.”

6.Hamar Girl, Ethiopia

FLDS members, even young children, are expected to help with chores—sowing, picking, canning—throughout the year.

8.Bee-Eater Feeding Chicks, Hungary

Photograph by József L. Szentpéteri

12.Cuban Tree Frog, Florida

Photograph by James Snyder

Story:This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in my backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time I was taking this photo, I thought this frog was dead, having cooked himself from the inside. I’m happy to say I was wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after I was finished shooting him, I pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, I might be crazy but I don’t think he was very happy when I took his light away

13.Lightning at Huntington Beach, Ohio

Photograph by James Larkin

Story:While at Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Ohio, I saw a storm approaching fast out of the north. I got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. Within a minute of this shot, the storm unleashed its fury on the beach. It was a great day.

14.Green Lake, Mount Abu

Photograph by Igor Cavalli

Story:I was travelling across Rajasthan when I saw the lake in Mount Abu covered by an extensive green layer. The mother and her girl were dressed in such nice colors that harmonized so beautifully with the color of the lake.

15.Marin Headlands Bunker

Photograph by Allyn Edmonds

Story:The location is the Marin Headlands near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The structure behind the benches is an old WWII bunker—apparently Annette and Edwin were there. Not sure what they were doing there or who they are but thought they were interesting enough to take this shot.

Photograph by John Stanmeyer, National Geographic

Story:The Maya believed natural wells, such as the Xkeken cenote in Mexico’s Yucatán, led to the underworld.

17.Dead Sea

Photograph by Paolo Pellegrin, National Geographic

Story:Floating on dreams and whispers, girls from a West Bank village cool off in the salt-laden waters of the Dead Sea. With its main tributary, the Jordan, at less than a tenth of its former volume, the inland sea has dropped some 70 feet since 1978.

18.Sei Whale Skull, Chile

Photograph by Maria Stenzel

Story:Inland ice fields give way along Chile’s coast to a maze of islands and fjords. The weather here is rarely calm. On Byron Island, the skull of a sei whale rests in a tidal creek—until the next storm.

24.Nasca Lines, Peru

Photograph by Robert Clark

Story:In the coastal desert of southern Peru, sprawling figures etched on the land—a spider, a monkey, a strange flying animal, and more—have inspired wonder in air travelers since first spotted in the 1920s. Now scientists believe they know why ancient people created the designs, beginning more than 2,000 years ago.

25.Boreray Island, Scotland

Story:Fog lifts to reveal the island of Boreray, in the St. Kilda archipelago, perched far out in the Atlantic.

26.Puffin, Shiant Islands

National Geographic Magazine Features

Story:Dapper black-and-white razorbills (at right) and bright-beaked puffins (at left and in air, at center) find a haven on the Shiant Islands, just a few miles southeast of Lewis, Scotland. Nearly 8,000 razorbills and more than 200,000 puffins are estimated to use these islands as their breeding grounds each year.

27.Sheep, Scotland

Photograph by Jim Richardson

Story:Tangles of seaweed lure a flock of sheep from Iona’s green slopes down to the beach for a mineral-rich graze. In Gaelic this stretch of coast is called Camas Cùil an t-Sàimh, the “bay at the back of the ocean.”

28.Waikawau Bay, New Zealand

Photograph by Steve Burling

Story:This photo was taken at Waikawau Bay, Coromandel, New Zealand. After a gorgeous drive up the coast I was greeted with this scene. It kind of reminds me of the symmetrical paintings I did at primary school where you painted one side then folded the paper in half. The weather always seems to provide unique opportunities up this end of New Zealand.

29.Silverback Mountain Gorillas

Photograph by Christopher Whittier

Story:Silverback mountain gorillas pose on the rim of a volcanic crater with a lake below in the background

30.Grizzly Bear Cubs

Photograph by Oliver Klink

Story:Grizzly cubs are unpredictable. At one moment they look at you with their intrigued eyes, and suddenly run away scared by unknown behavior. These two seven-Month-old cubs thought that holding hands would make the danger disappear

31.Samburu Elephants, Kenya

Photograph by Michael Nichols

Story:Saturn, an elderly mother herself, cares for two calves orphaned by the deaths of their mothers, who were her adult daughters. The extended family structure helps groups cope with such losses. At sunset along a river channel Saturn oversees the play of her own two calves and the orphans. From her behavior alone, uniformly doting, you couldn’t know which was which.

32.Diving Tiger, California

Photograph by Briana Taylor

Story:I took this photo at Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, California, in 2004. The trainers were throwing meat into a small pool to demonstrate the tigers’ diving ability, and this beautiful creature looked right into my camera. The scowl on his face is not from disgust or anger; rather, it results from how these big cats scrunch up their nose to keep water out.

33.Horse Scratching, Canada

Photograph by Michael Christopher Brown

Story:Relief is a rolling back scratch in the brush for a hobbled horse freed of its saddle. Several outfitters guide clients into the Muska-Kechika Management Area in the Canadian Rockies, and some take hunters, who pay thousands of dollars for a shot at big game.

34.King Penguins in Moonlight

Photograph by Stefano Unterthiner

Story:As sure as moonrise over Possession Island, king penguins gather each year for “ecstatic display.” Puffing their chests, lifting their heads, and belting out calls, birds of both sexes advertise themselves. Before long, pairs form and join a crowd, and breeding season is on.

35.Mahout Bathing an Elephant

Photograph by Mohit Midha

Story:Watching a mahout lovingly bathe his elephant, I tried capturing the moment from the riverside but wasn’t satisfied with what I saw through the viewfinder. There was something lacking that made the image not do justice to the scene. I then climbed a tree with a branch extending out over the water and got my shot, which may have been my last as I almost fell off after taking it. I’m sure the beautiful elephant would not have been very happy about me falling out of a tree straight onto her stomach!

36.Penguins Under Water, Antarctica

Photograph by Maria Stenzel

Story:Penguins surface near an air hole in Antarctica, captured with a remote underwater camera.

37.Polar Bears Playing

Photograph by Sandra Donlon

Story:This interested third party was observing the “interactions” of two polar bears near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.

38.Lion, South Africa

Photograph by Barbara Motter

39.Barracuda, Bismarck Sea

Photograph by David Doubilet

Story:A school of barracuda surrounds a naturalist in the Bismarck Sea off New Hanover island, Papua New Guinea.
