The first picture you’ve enclosed is a bird’s eye view of King’s Park and the city. Such a picture can only be taken from a helicopter or aeroplane. The buildings in the second picture look really underexposed. Google Earth seems to present the cityscape in ideal conditions. So, the actual skyline during golden hours of sunrise and sunset may not match those in the pictures you’ve enclosed.
“High aperture numbers like f/16 or higher are required when you want both foreground and background to be in focus at the same time.”
A friend of mine who is an amateur photographer told me that values of numbers in photography are opposite of what they actually are. For example, 16 in f/16 is a smaller number than 2.8 in f/2.8. In other words, as the number increases, in photography the number “decreases” in value.
“This would be a great place to photograph during the ‘golden hour'”
With regards to taking pictures during the golden hour, will a picture of a coastal sunset (such as the one I’ve enclosed) be classified as a picture taken during the golden hour?
