I couldn't be around for the Golden Hours, but I think it got a beautiful light nevertheless. I was traveling light, so no tripod and no ND filters... It took quite a lot of trying and messing with settings to get the silkiest waterfall and the least burned out picture (so. much. light). I would have loved to have a polarized filter for that sky and that water, but I worked with what I had... :-)

The place is the Douro river, in Zamora, Spain, at the XI century water mills, with the Roman bridge at the background.

Taken with the handy and trusty DA 18-135mm @ 31mm f/32 and 1/13s on my K-3. I love the 18-135mm but as it has a very noticeable zoom drag, it travels with a wrist rubber band of Dr Who's 50th Anniversary. It makes for harder manual focus, but it makes the overall package even cooler... :-)
