While on a sunset shoot back in December, as the sun was dropping towards the horizon, I made the most of the golden light, and took some portraits of my youngest son, Nicholas, posing in the old WWII Observation Post.

I love the soft light that characterises the golden hour, and wish I could use it more often for portraits. As the only light in the observation post was coming through the gap in the wall (on the left in both these photo), so both are shot with the ISO raised to 1600. The Canon 50D's high ISO performance means that the level of noise at ISO1600 is perfectly acceptable.
