This article introduces beginners to the concept of Magic Hour, Golden Hour and Blue Hour.”
A lot of people who are interested in photography have heard of the saying Magic Hour, but most only know that it happens around sunset, and can’t say for exactly when it begins and when it ends. This lesson contains content shared by photopills, explaining the best moments to shoot during the Magic Hour with image examples and text, this is not something you should miss.
First, there is no official definition of the Magic Hour, but it can be roughly categorised into two phases, the Golden Hour and the Blue Hour. During the Golden hour, the sun is shining from a low angle in the sky, the cooler colour light is hard to be caught by the eye due to refraction, leaving a soft and diffused orange-reddish light, resulting in what we know as the sunset scenery.




Blue Hour
This is when the sun has already set below the horizon, though with its light still visible. A gradient from cool to warm colours can be seen in the sky, and is a good time for moon photography.
