Blue hour and golden hour Los Angeles (California, United States)

Golden hour in photography is the period of the day before sunset or just after sunrise when the shadows become longer and less contrasting; the sun's rays, passing through the atmosphere, lose intensity and become softer; and the color of the objects takes on a pleasant reddish or golden hue. The term "hour" is, of course, used figuratively.

The "blue hour" or "blue hour" in photography refers to the period of time when the sun is hidden below the horizon and the sky gently scatters sunlight, giving all objects a deep blue tint. Blue hour can be caught in the evening just after sunset or in the morning before sunrise, thanks to Rayleigh scattering.

In the morning and in the evening, objects are illuminated from different directions and can look completely different. Therefore, the same angle sometimes looks more advantageous in the morning, and sometimes in the evening. Dew or hoarfrost, which appear at the junction of day and night with the strongest temperature drop, will also help you take a beautiful picture.
