About Golden Hour

Golden hour is the period shortly after sunrise and before sunset when daylight is redder, softer, and more flattering. Blue hour occurs when the sun is below the horizon but still illuminating the sky with soft blue tones. Both are prized by photographers for natural portraits and landscapes.
