Golden hour is the period immediately following sunrise and preceding sunset. During these privileged moments, sunlight passes through a greater thickness of atmosphere, which filters it and gives it that warm, golden tint so sought after by photographers.
💡 Golden hour typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes depending on season and latitude. Use our calculator to know the exact duration in your region.
Blue hour is that magical period that occurs just after sunset or just before sunrise, when the sun is sufficiently below the horizon for the sky to take on a uniform deep blue tint.
💡 Blue hour is shorter than golden hour, typically 20 to 30 minutes. It offers a perfect balance between natural sky light and artificial city lighting.
