We've been asked to take photos of 'Magic Hour Lighting' (the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset).
These are two examples from our tutors.

Here are some that I took on Friday, between 17:30 and 18:30, overlooking the reservoir at Shadsworth in Blackburn. I adjusted the colours in Lightroom to create a more dramatic affect.
For all of my photos I used a small aperture (low f number) to achieve a deep depth of field (everything in focus). I used quite slow shutter speeds and higher ISO's to capture more of the light as it was starting to go dark. I also used a circular polariser lens to give more difinition to the sky and clouds.
f.20 - 1/60sec - ISO 400 .
f.18 - 1/160sec - ISO 400.

Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think and how I could improve my pics :D
