When is the sunlight at it's best? At what time of day it's best to take photographs? What are the golden hours in photography? We all know that in the middle of the day, when the sun is at the highest point in the sky, the light too bright. The best pictures (especially in landscape photography), are taken just before sunrise or just after sunset.
The golden rule, often used, is take photos from one hour before sunrise to sunrise and from sunset untill one hour after sunset. In reality, this margin is greater, the light is around this time also quite warm, so you might wan't to start earlier or finish later.
Below we have a table for the coming months, in which the sunrise and sunset and the times mentioned above are displayed. The golden hours of photography. Bookmark this page in your favorites!
