If I had known that it would have been so intense, I would probably have chosen the video mode rather than the Pro mode but since it was the 1st time that I saw such an explosion of colors during the golden hour (and I am very old), I'm still happy to have been able to capture these magical moments for you to enjoy. It felt like the sky was ablaze like it was the end of the world

#Golden hour time before sunset full#

Here is one of those magical moments that I was able to capture, the colors went from orange to gray then to mauve then to pink in a few seconds and the sky seemed to be ablaze as a volcano in full swing would have done. However, the most relevant moments are often found in the seconds or minutes before the moment when the sun comes out of the horizon or begins to hide there. This time slot of just a few minutes allows you to considerably beautify a place that is at first glance bland or uninteresting when it is in the middle of the day.īasically you can assume that the golden hour starts one hour before sunrise (up to one hour after sunrise), then starts again one hour before sunset (up to one hour after sunrise). During these times, the shadows are also softer, less pronounced and more elongated than during the full day.īecause the Golden Hour light gives a warm atmosphere to photos, it is naturally very popular with photographers. These moments are at sunrise or sunset and we then find predominantly orange, yellow or pink tints.

In photography, we call 'Golden Hour' the time of day when the light atmosphere is very colorful. Click on pictures to enlarge them and see the beauty of those photos took by REAL Samsung's Members photographers What is the Golden Hour ? *
