Canon DSLR Speed Challenge #79: Prime Time
(Hopefully) Everyone knows that the best times to shoot are at sunrise and sunset, so why not have a Speed Challenge about it. The lighting's perfect, and a lot of interesting (or possibly sketchy) stuff happens around those times.
There are 3 ways I can see going about this. I'll use some of my shots to illustrate the ways, and as inspiration.
1. All About the 'Set or 'Rise: The image represents the time of day/activities as well as it was taken at sunrise/set.

2. Little to do With the 'Rise or 'Set: While it was take at sunrise/set, it has little or nothing to do with what goes down then.

3. Mix: The subject is unrelated to sunrise/set, but the photo dislays the best lighting or color effects the time of day has to offer.

All of these were taken at sunset, but I encourage submitting sunrise and sunset shots equally. Have fun!
