The real magic happens during blue hour,
I like it more than the golden hour.
Timing;
To me… I start from the early golden hour, or whenever sky change color. I don’t know much rule of photography. I just shoot and adjust my setting as see fit. I treat it as a warm-up before the real magic hour comes.
Also on a rainy or cloudy day, sunset hours often skip golden hours and go directly to blue hours.
The boundary of blue and golden hour is also very interesting to photograph.
So IMHO, I go there before sunset to scout location and I don't wait, I capture everything from early golden hour to early night. And try long exposure during blue hour too. I love long exposure of car or people walking during blue hours.
This one I start from early sunset as mentioned
this one too, start from golden hour to blue hour and i like the one during blue hour the most
this one is late blue hour
This one, the sun about to left the horizon. the sun is on the right hand which can't be seen here. I shoot sunset with everyone there then ran to this small road for blue hour.
