About Golden Hour

Golden hour occurs shortly after sunrise and before sunset when the sun is low on the horizon, producing warm, diffused light with minimal harsh shadows.

Blue hour happens before sunrise and after sunset when the sun is below the horizon but still illuminating the sky with deep blue tones. It's perfect for cityscapes and moody landscapes.
