Contrary to popular belief, you can take good photos even when it\u2019s not the \u201cgolden hour\u201d or when there\u2019s no available light. Even as a beginner or aspiring photographer, you can definitely shoot at any time of day and still achieve good quality output. You simply have to learn how to distinguish the characteristics of the lighting that you get during different times of the day so that you can optimize your specific conditions and use the right camera settings or photography tools to help you achieve the best photo possible.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the different times of day for photography?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76320\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76320 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/kayakers-at-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"Kayakers at sunset\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/kayakers-at-sunset.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/kayakers-at-sunset-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Red Zeppelin on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Golden Hour<\/li>\n<li>High Noon<\/li>\n<li>Afternoon and Mid-Morning<\/li>\n<li>Blue Hour<\/li>\n<li>Nighttime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Golden Hour<\/h3>\n<p>Alternatively referred to as the \u201cmagic hour,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/golden-hour-photography-tips\/\">golden hour<\/a> is the period shortly <em>after<\/em> sunrise and <em>before<\/em> sunset. Many photographers see it as the best time to take photos as it is when the sun gives off a softer, reddish-pink light that effortlessly makes for dramatic and artistic images that are perfect for various photography niches like portraiture, landscape, and wedding photography.<\/p>\n<p>Taking photos during other times of the day may require you to use additional lighting equipment and other accessories to achieve the color, saturation, and exposure that you want for your image. But during the golden hour, you get your desired effect\u2014as well as a gorgeous wash of color\u2014with little or no help from any additional gear.<\/p>\n<h3>High Noon<\/h3>\n<p>Direct, downward lighting produced during midday or high noon creates photos that look flat, thus making photographers shy away from shooting during this time of the day. The effect of harsh lighting in photos is due to the fact that the light is undiffused, which often discourages many photographers from shooting outdoors during this time.<\/p>\n<p>However, this can actually be a good time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/0013209\/article\/Taking-Pictures-Through-Glass\">shooting subjects with reflective surfaces<\/a>, like bodies of water or glass. Water normally presents unattractive reflections during other times of the day when light is bouncing from different angles. When shooting at noon, light penetrates deeper into the water, making it appear more transparent.<\/p>\n<h3>Afternoon and Mid-Morning<\/h3>\n<p>This time of the day is best for general photography as it is when the sky casts a slightly more yellow and subtle light that enhances skin tones, reduces blown out highlights, and eliminates harsh shadows.<\/p>\n<p>With exposure worries out of the way, it\u2019s perfect for taking photos of all sorts of subjects and sceneries. However, you\u2019ll still have to pay attention to proper framing and the composition of your photos because lighting often appears flat and doesn\u2019t highlight the features of the subject.<\/p>\n<h3>Blue Hour<\/h3>\n<p>Also known as dawn, dusk, or twilight, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-shoot-blue-hour\/\">blue hour<\/a> is the period <em>before<\/em> sunrise and <em>after<\/em> sunset. During this time, contrast is typically low, and the lighting casts a cool pastel undertone. The direction of the sun\u2019s rays comes from below the horizon so lighting is more subdued.<\/p>\n<p>The blue hour occurs only for a couple of minutes, so you have to be quick when capturing photos during this period. Images occasionally appear a little too blue, so warm filter gels and the tungsten white balance feature on the camera are often used to neutralize this.<\/p>\n<h3>Nighttime<\/h3>\n<p>Shooting at night presents a different kind of challenge for a photographer, since sunlight is completely absent during this time. But thanks to customizable camera settings, shooters can capture beautiful and unique nighttime photos of the city and starry skies by taking long-exposure shots.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of natural lighting can also give you some of the best dramatic portraits and glamour shots, since you have the freedom to choose your light source\u2014car lights, street lamps, external flashes, what have you\u2014and direct the way the light falls on your subject.<\/p>\n<p>Here are more tips for shooting during a specific period of the day and achieving beautiful, well-exposed photos:<\/p>\n<h2>Shooting During Your Favorite Time of Day:<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76324\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76324 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dog-in-lake.jpg\" alt=\"Dog in pond\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dog-in-lake.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/dog-in-lake-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Luke Jones on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We now know that we have more creative control of the photos that we take during the golden hour, high noon, mid-morning or afternoon, blue hour, and nighttime. On top of knowing how to make use of the natural advantages of shooting during these specific times. there are ways that we can further improve our photography style and the quality of our photos taken while shooting during these times of day.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Shooting During the Golden Hour<\/h3>\n<h4><b>Shoot in RAW format<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Should anything go wrong\u2014especially in terms of exposure and white balance\u2014while shooting your subject, having your image files in digital RAW format instead of compressed JPEG will give you more control and freedom to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/effective-photoshop-workflow\/\">major edits during post-processing<\/a>, since all the pertinent details of your photo will be retained.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Set your white balance manually<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>The temperature and color of the sky during the golden hour will change by the minute. As you shoot, you\u2019ll get more of that unnatural yellow undertone in your images. Instead of choosing between fixed white balance options like Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy, or even Auto, you\u2019re better off setting your white balance manually so you can get the colors in your photos as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Choose the best times for shooting<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>To yield a more pleasant and even softer effect for your photos, it\u2019s usually advised to take your shots 15 minutes before the golden hour ends for mornings and 15 minutes after for afternoons. The reddish-pink hue won\u2019t be as strong, but it effectively prevents excess light from washing out your subject.<\/p>\n<p>You may also want to chase after the morning golden hour, which is clearer than the afternoon golden hour due to reduced haze in the atmosphere. At the same time, it has a cooler undertone that can enhance the color of your photos.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"The Magic Hour: Getting the Shot with Corey Rich: Tech Tip: Exploring the Creative Process\" style=\"width:1280px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_poVdtGa_KJU\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/poVdtGa_KJU\/maxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/poVdtGa_KJU\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M6S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2014-12-08T19:34:43Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_poVdtGa_KJU\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/poVdtGa_KJU\/maxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">The Magic Hour: Getting the Shot with Corey Rich: Tech Tip: Exploring the Creative Process<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/poVdtGa_KJU\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/poVdtGa_KJU\/0.jpg\" alt=\"The Magic Hour: Getting the Shot with Corey Rich: Tech Tip: Exploring the Creative Process\" width=\"1280\" height=\"700\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"www.adorama.com Every day we\u2019re given two opportunities to make good photos look great.

Shooting portraits and objects during high noon makes this incredibly difficult since the light source comes from above, thus creating blown out foreheads, sunken eyes, and harsh downward shadows everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>One approach you can take is to have your subjects face downwards or upwards just enough for the light source to properly expose and bring out prominent facial features. Or, you can use a reflector to bounce harsh lighting and create a more diffused fill light to eliminate shadows on your subject\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting scenes at this time will also give you high contrast, washed-out landscapes, but neutral density or polarizing filters can help you improve your color saturation, make image elements pop, and reduce the dynamic range in your noontime photos.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Experiment with your photographic approach<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Another way you can make this type of lighting work is by focusing on various aspects of the image instead of just on your subjects. You can choose to show a different perspective, specific details of a subject that you can zoom in on, or just make the shadows work for you. See how you can approach around your subject under this kind of natural light or come up with a composition\u2014perhaps dramatic or abstract\u2014where the presence of high-contrast elements in your photos can be appreciated and perceived as art.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Change your focal point<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Despite midday lighting being difficult to work with, it has one major advantage\u2014it brings out the many different, stunning, and brilliant colors that we don\u2019t often see together during any other time of the day. Take advantage of this by take photos of colorful surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Should you wish to include a subject in your shot, you can also frame it so that it takes up only a small portion of the frame, by either zooming out or placing it in the background. This way, the audience\u2019s primary focus will be on the bigger and more colorful negative space in the photo, instead of on your subject.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Shooting During Afternoon or Mid-Morning<\/h3>\n<h4><b>Select your background carefully<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/backgrounds-choosing-the-right-backdrop-for-portraits\/\">choosing a background for your subject<\/a>, make sure that it complements your subject\u2019s appearance or features well. Diffused, natural lighting during the afternoon or mid-morning does this effortlessly, but it\u2019s a different story when you use the sky, sun, or reflective and bright backdrops as your subject\u2019s background. You\u2019re likely going to end up with shots of your subject blending in with the bright backlight (especially if they have bright-colored hair and clothes) or appearing as a silhouette instead of giving them a lovely rim light.<\/p>\n<p>If you really want that slightly washed out look, you can counteract bright backlight with ample fill light\u2014with a flash or reflector\u2014in front of your subject. This also ensures that there will be enough contrast between your subject and background, since not having enough of it among elements within the frame can sometimes result in a dull-looking photo.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Use the spot meter<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Shooting portraits under afternoon and mid-morning lighting can sometimes be a challenge, especially when you\u2019re trying to keep your subjects properly exposed or hoping to achieve that hazy, slightly washed-out look. In this case, you can use a spot meter to manage the probability of overexposure. This is also particularly important when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/portrait-photography-tips-for-beginners\/\">shooting faces of your subjects up close<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Control lights and shadows<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Aside from properly exposing your subject with lights or camera exposure settings, you also have to consider the position of your subject and the shadows casted within your frame so that they do not interfere with your shot. Before you click the shutter button, check if there are shadows hitting prominent parts of the face like the eyes, nose, and lips.<\/p>\n<p>When shooting multiple subjects, make sure that no shadow is hitting another so it doesn\u2019t end up ruining the appearance of your subjects and distracting your viewers from your focal point.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bonus tip:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If all else fails, just <em>fake<\/em> the \u201cgolden hour\u201d effect.

In order to capture somewhat brighter photos before sunrise and after sunset, you\u2019ll need to rely on your camera\u2019s shutter to allow a greater amount of light to enter the lens. Under this mode, you can set the shutter speed to your own preference (typically between one to six seconds) and avoid getting underexposed photos.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Shoot as steadily as possible<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Shooting under low-light conditions can make it difficult to get good quality photos as is. You\u2019ll definitely need all the help you can get to alleviate factors that can contribute to poor image quality, which in this case is camera shake from holding your camera or manually clicking the shutter. You\u2019ll need to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/best-tripods-under-100\/\">tripod<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/best-monopods-for-cameras\/\">monopod<\/a> as well as a remote shutter or your camera\u2019s timer to prevent motion blur and help you produce clear and sharp long exposure images.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Capture more available light<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Since there is barely a hint of sunlight during this time, you\u2019ll mostly get blueish photos during the blue hour. Including parts of a scene where there is some visible light, such as cityscapes, introduces more (hopefully warm and contrasting) colors that will add life to your image and make it appear more dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>For more tips on shooting during the blue hour, check out this quick tutorial by David Bergman:<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Grey Sky Blues: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman\" style=\"width:1280px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_Zt3FmOtEUpA\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Zt3FmOtEUpA\/maxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Zt3FmOtEUpA\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M59S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-04-25T15:00:01Z\" \/><\/div><meta itemprop=\"accessibilityFeature\" content=\"captions\" \/><div id=\"lyte_Zt3FmOtEUpA\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Zt3FmOtEUpA\/maxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Grey Sky Blues: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Zt3FmOtEUpA\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Zt3FmOtEUpA\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Grey Sky Blues: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman\" width=\"1280\" height=\"700\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"http:\/\/www.adorama.com Grey overcast skies?

Instead of sticking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-photograph-the-perfect-cityscape\/\">cityscapes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/astrophotography-the-gear-tips-you-need-to-photograph-the-night-sky\/\">night skies<\/a> for your nighttime photography, go ahead and use even slower shutter speeds to capture sceneries where there is seemingly no available light. Allow your lens and camera sensor to do its magic and deliver you some of the most interesting, peaceful, and even desolate shots of the ocean, mountains, or deserts.<\/p>\n<p><b>Experiment with exposure settings<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Unlike when shooting during the blue hour, shooting at night often requires the use of much longer shutter speeds, higher ISOs, or even infrared filters to be able to gather enough light for your image. You\u2019ll be surprised how the difference of a just few seconds of exposure can give you different results. For these reasons, it will definitely take you some time to understand how different exposure settings can affect your shot and give you your desired results. Invest your time in night photography and you\u2019ll be amazed with the quality of photos that you can deliver.<\/p>\n<p><b>Use motion blur to your advantage<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To be able to achieve a sensible nighttime shot, you\u2019ll obviously need to use much slower shutter speeds and accept the presence of possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-capture-motion-blur-in-photography\/\">motion blur<\/a>, depending on your choice of scenery.
