Photography Tips
1
Arrive Early
Get to your location 15-20 minutes before golden hour starts to scout compositions and set up.
2
Use Warm Tones
Golden hour light is naturally warm. Set your white balance to "daylight" or "shade" to enhance the effect.
3
Shoot Towards the Sun
For dramatic backlighting and lens flare, position your subject between you and the low sun.
4
Use a Wide Aperture
Open up to f/2.8 or wider for beautiful bokeh with the warm golden background.
Golden hour times are calculated algorithmically based on solar position. Actual conditions may vary due to weather, terrain, and atmospheric conditions.
