Looking to spice up your projects? Do you want some natural color that doesn’t need edited to be seen? Well then, the perfect time of day to photograph or film is golden hour!

Golden hour happens twice a day: an hour after the sunrises and the hour before the sunsets. Depending on your location, there can be so much color and opportunity to explore. In certain places so much as orange and purple can naturally be seen, it’s hard to guarantee that this will happen everyday, though. So really, you just have to be prepared and be lucky. The great thing is about filming and photography, you can prepare for ideal shooting days. However, some of your best work can be done on the fly, especially when something unexpectant happens to boost your production.

So go out and film with your crew, or photograph your subjects in the ideal time to go! How does this information work for you? And as always, team work makes the dreamwork.
