Light

The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset give warm, low light that models fur and feather and brings out the texture of a landscape. Midday light is harsher, better suited to shade, forest and overcast skies. Light from behind the subject, rim light, turns an ordinary scene into something luminous.
