The light we see during the golden and blue hours can really change how landscape photos look.

Golden Hour:

• This happens about one hour after the sun rises and one hour before it sets.
• The light during this time is warm and soft, with a color temperature of about 3,000K to 4,000K.
• This warm light makes colors and textures stand out, making landscapes look more lively.
• In fact, photos taken during the golden hour can get 20-30% more attention from people compared to those taken at noon!

Blue Hour:

• This hour happens just before the sun rises and just after it sets.
• The light is cooler, usually between 4,000K and 5,000K.
• It's great for capturing scenes that have a lot of mood and deep contrasts with fine details.
• Studies show that pictures taken during the blue hour often seem 15-25% deeper than photos taken when the sunlight is very bright.

Using golden and blue hours can change ordinary landscapes into stunning images by taking advantage of the best light available.
