Photography is the art of light and shadow. In a day, the sun's height is different, and the intensity of the sun's light we feel is also different. Different sun's light will have different effects on photography. During the day, because the sun's light is very strong and the light is hard, it is easy to form strong light and shadow contrast, which is usually not conducive to photography. At night, because there is no sunlight, the scenery is very dim and it is usually difficult to take pictures. Around sunrise and sunset, there is usually ideal light, and the photos taken are ideal. " The golden moment "is the moment when the sun is between 6 ยฐ and minus 4 ยฐ in height, lasting about 40 minutes, at which time the sky will present a beautiful glow, making it an ideal moment to take photos." Blues moment "refers to the time when the sun's height is between minus 4 degrees and minus 6 degrees, which lasts between 16 and 24 minutes. "Blues Time" when the sun is already below the ground level, the sky will appear quiet blue, and the sky will gradually change from warm to cold. At this time, the blue saturation of the photos taken is relatively high, which is a rare photography opportunity Sunrise and sunset time are very different in different geographical locations and seasons. The "Sunlight and Moonlight" App can provide the local daily "sunrise and sunset" time, as well as the corresponding "golden moment" and "blues moment" to help photographers determine the shooting time.
