OcUK Photo Comp - Season Eight : Round Five - "The Golden Hour" DISCUSSION

Got my initial entry in - it is subject to change tho - was sodding freezing standing around taking it! Taken off Waterloo Bridge in London looking back towar St Pauls and Canada Wharf.
 
As has been said the weather has been horrid! My neck of the woods has been rubbish (Newbury) i went out Sunday night and last night and did not catch a break, huge bank of dull grey clouds to the west :(

Some nice entry's so far though, Willis, Mat and Septh, i really like.

Yeah it's been pretty average. Still it's on the cloudy days that you get the really interesting shots. It has occurred to me that a few of us (myself included) have missed the theme a bit. We're doing more of a Dusk/Dawn style shot. According to the majority of definitions, the Golden Hour is when the sun is still up or has come up and casts a golden light.

Looks like it's back to the drawing board for me.

Yeah Steve all shots are similar, really like that shot accross the field.

Ditto Derek, but i feel im getting a little better as time goes by, i just have no creativity :(

Thanks Steve, I'm still undecided about it. I like the way the HDR came out and quite liking the white grave with the red flowers at the bottom but I'm unsure about the composition, not happy with the lack of colour in the sky. then I'm thinking should the graves in the foreground be cropped out etc etc. I want to replace it with a similar style of shot but like everyone has said the weather has been poop lately.

I also think I've exhausted my town of interesting places to take pictures!
 
I have a photo which I think would make a good entry. But I took it during sunset, so the sun was going down but still visible. I take it that doesn't count as the "golden hour"?
