GOLDEN HOUR 

The golden hour is a time of day in photography that occurs shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the light is redder and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky. These times, known as "the golden hour" or "magic hour," provide the ideal light for taking stunning photographs.

GOLDEN HOUR
This photograph was taken in Putrajaya. This golden hour landscape photograph was taken at 7:00 a.m. I waited for the sun to rise from 6.40 a.m. until 7.30 a.m. to get the perfect shot. This image can be seen reflected in the water, which adds to its appeal. I use the camera settings F 4, ISO 640, and Shutter 1/125.

ZONE SYSTEM 

The Zone System gives photographers a scientific way to evaluate the tone range in composition. The Zone System is a tone scale with eleven tone values. The darkest is pure black, and the lightest is pure white. Zone 0 is black, and Zone X is white. Each grey value between these two extremes is one photographic stop different from the grey tone on either side of it.

Street Photography is done for art or research, and it includes unmediated chance encounters and random incidents. The goal of street photography is to capture life in public places candidly.
