Nathaly Pinheiro Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 What is it call the time of the day at these shots below (the street ones)? Because the sunlight is warmer and lower in the sky, I see some people referring to it as golden hour but I though golden hour was only when the sky is warm and the sky has orange tones.

Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) People call it whatever they like. Sometimes you get a mix of golden and blue hour as in this photo I shot for my Bikers' Mardi Gras project. Other times it is heavy golden or all blue. Photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. (Candid) None of that really matters, as far as what you call it. Shoot early AM and you get nice color. Shoot at sunset and you get nice color. That is all you need to know. My advice...if a certain look is important to you; do some test shoots in the early AM and sunset then you can get an idea of what you will get. But no matter how you slice it...it is a crapshoot as natural lighting is not repeatable. If you desire a certain look and can't get it, then pay for some colorist to doctor it up.
