PART of the secret for getting gorgeous photos is in the timing - and recently the Hereford Times Camera Club has been full of "golden hour" pictures.

Golden hour strikes just after sunrise and just before sunset when the light from the sun appears softer with a reddish tint. 

Here are 14 beautiful photos from Hereford Times Camera Club members.
