How to shoot in the golden hour
The golden hour is prized for its warm, low light: shadows stretch out, contrast softens and skin tones look natural. Arrive 15–20 minutes before the window opens — the light changes fast and the best minutes are easy to miss.
Morning light is a touch cooler and cleaner, with calmer air — good for landscapes and architecture. Evening light is warmer and richer, and easier to schedule. Shoot into the light for rim-lit silhouettes, or with the light for soft, dimensional portraits.
Don't pack up the moment the Sun sets: the blue hour follows, when the sky turns deep blue and city lights still balance the last of the daylight. It is the best time for cityscapes and long exposures.
Blue hour
The blue hour is the short spell when the Sun sits 4–6° below the horizon. In Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia the evening blue hour lasts about 25 min. The sky is even and deep and the light is cool — ideal for minimalism and city panoramas.
