Understanding Sun Times
Golden Hour
The period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when daylight is redder and softer. Perfect for photography as it creates warm, flattering light with long shadows.
Blue Hour
The period before sunrise or after sunset when the sky takes on a predominantly blue shade. Ideal for cityscapes as artificial lights balance beautifully with ambient light.
Twilight Types
Civil twilight allows outdoor activities. Nautical twilight lets sailors see the horizon. Astronomical twilight marks when the sky is dark enough for astronomy.
