Magic Hour Is A New VR Photography Simulator

London-based design studio Wolf in Motion has launched Magic Hour, a new VR experience that lets you do advanced photography in a virtual world.
Inside the hand-crafted digital playground, you’re equipped with a virtual camera that has features similar to what you’ll find in a high-end camera in a real world. You can adjust shutter speed, aperture, focal length, ISO, and white balance, as well as use various shooting modes (e.g. A, S, M).

The developers aimed to recreate the physics of a real camera or lens, but the fact that it’s a VR simulation means you can use combinations that aren’t available to photographers in the real world (e.g. a 6-150mm f/1.4 lens).
 
Here are some sample photos shot inside Magic Hour:
