I’ll let you in on a little secret about one of the most magical moments at Rosslyn. Golden hour. The photophilic interval between sunrise and full daylight, and again between daylight and sunset. The unique quality of radiance and luminosity just after sunrise and just before sunset when natural light is infused with gold and red hues. This evening I offer a grateful hat tip to Glen Gehrkens, Justin McGiver, and Ed Huber for orchestrating and (hopefully) helping document a dramatic end-of-week sundown. But today’s update, anticipating and après golden hour, is the little secret. For now. Until photos are forthcoming…
Anticipating 5:30pm and the promise of perfect illumination, Glen kindled the fire pit. Celestial fire and its earthly kin are timeless, essential, and perhaps primordial companions as day yields to night.
Thank you, Glen.
In the cinematic panorama above, looking west-southwest beyond the barns, Justin shares a story, two stories really, one subtle and one sensational. Two interwoven visual narratives. There’s the spectacular sky erupting après golden hour. A dramatic denouement. And there’s the less apparent story of another storyteller. Just barely discernible near center-left in the photograph is the silhouette of another sort of storyteller. Ed Huber, drone pilot, aerial photographer and videographer of Splitrock Productions.
If nature’s benevolence coincides with Ed’s artistic and technical skill, then soon we may witness a breathtaking braid of Glen’s, Justin’s, and Ed’s creative initiative. A coalescence of inputs anticipating and après golden hour… Stay tuned!
