One of the favorite photography styles that is a hot favorite of the professional photographers is the ‘Ray of Light’ photography. In this kind of photographic style all the snaps are taken during dawn or early morning when the rays of light are extremely meek. The photographers use the term ‘magical light hours’ for designating the early morning hours and they regard it as one of the best time for taking snaps.

Be it the scene of nature like the waterfall glowing in the sunlight or any living things like the warm rays of sun touching the leaves of the garden, the ‘ray of light’ snaps taken during these hours are simply stupendous.
