Sunset photos and silhouettes are a couple of the biggest cliches in the photographer’s playbook. If you’ve seen one sunset photo, you’ve pretty much seen them all. But while the color produced after the sun has fully set is what grabs all the attention, it’s that moment just before the sun touches the horizon that offers the most magical light.

A lot of people stopped to take in the sunset tonight.

Who ever said there’s no such thing as nice light in the winter?

Pretty incredible fall sky last night driving out to the boonies to shoot a football game.

Preparing for the Last Fling. Naperville, Ill.
I will miss the long, warm days, but there’s not much better afternoon light than when summer starts to fade into fall.

The only part that bothers me about rising before the sun in late August is knowing that in two months’ time you won’t have to be up that early to do so, no longer making it a feat.

The problem I have when I convert something to black and white, like that photo of Jay Cutler, is I tend to then get on a black and white kick. When the light is great, keep it color. But when you’re waiting around on assignment for an elected official to show up and have time to play around and grab some extra shots their shifty-eyed security detail for yourself (or your blog), go black and white and keep it timeless.

Shooting professional sports is considered by many to be the ultimate assignment and for those at the top of their game. While the latter is probably true, what I’d like to know is when the last photographer assigned to shoot in a Major League park surrounded by four- to five-story walls got to work with light like this when the sun dips toward the horizon.
