The Magic Hour by Siew Bee Lim

This is a photo of sunrise during the magic hour from a perspective that attempts to capture the most vivid color. Taking sunrise photograph depends on the weather, and more. One needs to be at the location with a good view of sunrise, and better to have a subject. In addition, not every day sunrise the vivid color is visible. More often, it is cloudy. The photo was taken in January 2019.

Photographer: Siew Bee Lim (Singapore) Registered
Born in 1965 in Singapore, photography was one of the old hobbies of Siew Bee Lim. Now she would like to learn it formally via Light & Composition platform as she believes it’s not too late. Since primary school she is not good in drawing; she doesn’t have artistic hand that some of her classmates have. Nonetheless, she likes reading since young, and would try to appreciate Chinese paintings. Few years after she started working as a Programmer, she took up photography as a hobby. She attended a short course which included a session in the darkroom. In those days, good photographs were dependent on good darkroom skills. It was unlikely that she spent much time in the darkroom. Hence the hobby didn’t last long then. She believes that the present learning experience has a longer way to go.
