THE MAJESTIC GOLDEN HOUR
AS THE SUN RISES, A FRESH START BEGINS. NOTHING CAN BE MORE PEACEFUL THAN TO START YOUR DAY WITH A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE AND END WITH THE SERENE VIEWS OF THE SUNSET. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF CAPTURING THIS IN YOUR FRAME? ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ IS A TIME JUST AFTER A SUNRISE OR BEFORE SUNSET, THROUGH WHICH DAYLIGHT IS REDDER AND SOFTER THAN THE HARSH SUNLIGHT. WHEN THE SUN IS LOW ABOVE THE HORIZON, SUN RAYS MUST PENETRATE THE ATMOSPHERE FOR A GREATER DISTANCE, REDUCING THE INTENSITY OF DIRECT LIGHT. MORE BLUE LIGHT IS SCATTERED, SO IF THE SUN IS PRESENT, ITS LIGHT APPEARS MORE REDDISH AND SUN’S LOW ANGLE ABOVE THE HORIZON PRODUCES LONGER SHADOWS.

IN THIS ARTICLE LET’S LOOK AT THE MAGIC OF THE BLUE HOUR AND HOW CAN WE MAKE THE BEST USE OF THAT TIME.
