Its opposite is the Blue hour that identifies a specific condition of the solar light characterized by a colder temperature and a low energy, which, in practical terms, results in subjects with numerous penumbra, de-saturated and colder colors and intense blue sky.
Are you looking for the perfect light for impressive photos? Are you curious to know how do professional photographers capture the moment when the light is "magic"? This app is for you! Easy and intuitive, it shows you the times of the golden and the blue hours.
The Golden hour, also known as magic hour corresponds to a special and sought after condition of natural sunlight with a high diffusion, warm temperature, low incidence and limited energy.
In photography the golden hour translates into soft light, warm colors, shadows so long that they tend to disappear and a good level of contrast despite the reduced dynamics.
The golden hour occurs when the sun is very low on the horizon and therefore in the moments after sunrise and before sunset, the blue hour instead at sunset or sunrise, in twilight situation, when the sun it's below the horizon.
The time, duration and intensity of these "magical hours" change according to the seasons, latitudes and weather conditions and therefore this app will help you to identify them perfectly.
