    The best time of the day to take pictures.

    Do you sometimes feel that there is a specific time of the day when your photos look great if you take a picture on that specific time of the day? It is weird, but I do prefer taking photos, generally, just for leisure during afternoons, during  sunsets, when the sunlight is so soft and warm. I love how the natural light affects the whole vibe of my photos. 

    Well, it may not be me, so I'm here to ask if anyone of you has the same feeling as I do. Are there moments when you think that you love to take photos because it's "that time" of your regular day?

    Sunsets and sunrise are the best times. These are good with a nice panorama. It happens during that time usually one gets the right shades and color that you need in images

    I perfectly agree. The shades are so pretty. The orange and red hues blend so well together. You can also see the change in sky as minutes pass by. It's a feeling of wonder when taking photographs.

    The sun is great since it is a natural source of unlimited light and one can easily manipulate it in any way they want when taking the pictures. This means that for me the best time to take some snaps would be when there is some natural sun out.

    I know what you mean. The shadows made by natural sunlight is so mesmerizing. This is why professional photographers enjoy shadows cast in the surroundings. The imagery is unique.

    The stuff of professional photographers is just amazing. I mean how do they even manipulate those angles to take pictures that are so beautiful to stare at. I would never be passed by an opportunity to be taught.

    I don't know either. A lot of it has to do with having a good setting. They need to be able to move around. Like choose the best spots to photograph.

    Angle shots could be something developed through formal training and experience. It becomes more of an instinctive thing the longer they've been doing it.

    With regards to night photography, the secret is the not to make it blurred or pixilated. So the primary factor that you will need is a great camera to ensure that your picture doesn’t appear to be shadows of grains. In case you are an a beginner photographer like me then the best wager could be to head for a budget digicam alternative and there is nothing better than a smartphone camera as you already have it.

    The most amazing pictures of the time are of sunsets and sunrises. If you get a perfect shot the better. Taking them in the background of infrastructuresike bridges, churches and others do really bring out a good colour and shade. The blending is so good.

    Yup, this is the definitive answer. Those twilight hours near sunrise and sunset are considered to be optimal times for shooting photos, which is why they’re known as “magic hours” among photographers.

    For one thing, that is when the light is softest, which gives you a lot of wiggle room when it comes to different settings like shutter speed and aperture in order to get the right balance of composition and exposure.

    Also, since the sun is at an angle, textures pop out more and the shadows create for a more vibrant, dynamic image.

Especially on those orange afternoons, that's what me any my daughters call it. On orange afternoons, we always go out and enjoy how orange everything is and take those orange-y pictures.

    It's easier to take photos in broad daylight between 7am - 3pm when the sun still shines, it's because you don't need to use a flash or find a light source.

    I would say that extending it to 3:00 pm is too far because the day's sun would be at its peak by that time of the day which would cause too much light interference with the photos especially casting of shadows.

    The weather is a very big factor in determining when it's the best time to take pictures. Once the weather is not bright or too sunny, taking good pictures would be very difficult.

    If it's raining, taking pictures is going to be virtually impossible to carry out except if you are using digital cameras or iPhone that are water resistant.

    I find the afternoon "golden hour" is the best time for pictures. Shortly before the sun sets when you've got those beautiful reddish, soft sunlight hues makes for really beautiful pictures, and good conditions for taking photos. I think you can also get the same effects shortly after the sun has come up in the mornings if that works better for your schedule.

    You could attempt capturing pictures during the mid day because the water will be shiny and brilliant, however for the reason that sun is overhead the light could be very harsh and it will produce darkish shadows. Photographs won’t come out that nicely on this light however experimenting with numerous lighting situations would possibly yield superb surprising outcomes.

    The general rule of thumb is that the best times to take pictures is a couple of hours after sunrise, as well as a couple of hours before sunset. This is because the sun is at an angle relative to the surface, so it really makes all the textures pop in the environment. Not to mention that the color of the light is most beautiful at these hours.

    The worst time to take pictures is at noon. Not only is the sun too bright at this time, but when it’s directly overhead it makes everything look bland and washed out. Shadows are a really important element when it comes to photography.

    Yup, I've never had success at midday trying to get good shots. Everything's too bright and reflective...I know some people say you can work your angles a certain way for pictures to turn out okay, but I find it easier to just succumb to the sun and work with it in the hours that it's most productive and helpful!

    Well I mean it isn’t technically impossible to get a good-looking photo during midday, and there are definitely certain tricks you can use by utilizing natural shade. That being said, why work harder when you can work smarter, right?

    It’s way, way easier to just wait for the proper time of day to take your photos, and the results are guaranteed to always be better than anything you can do during midday. There’s a reason why those certain hours are called “magic hours” among photographers, because that’s when the best photos are taken.

    Yeah. Lighting condition is very important. You can take pictures at night with of course correct amount of lights. You can have good flash if it's dark so I think it depends to the one who take pictures. It's a strategy that you need to enhance so I guess it's good to know the functions of each settings on the camera and right angle for a good shot. The balance of light and dark gives us a good result.

    Most of us have there favourite time for taking pictures. I think my favourite time to click pictures will be at sunrise. In the morning the sun rays are not very intense and the Sunlight is not harsh. Also early in the morning, there is some kind of energy and freshness in the atmosphere and I love to catch that freshness in my pictures. I don't however like to take pics during the afternoons due to the harsh sunlight and the overall dullness in the atmosphere.

You can visit the Kiltepan's Sagada sunrise where in you are on the top or peak of the mountain and you will discover how beautiful to see a sun rising up with those forming clouds.

    That is right. There is nothing happier than that. There is no other place like home and no best buddies than family.

    For me it depends on what is the subject of your photo. I sell items online and when I take pictures of them to post, I usually do it morning when the sun is not yet that strong. Not advisable to do it also in the evening because aside from the photo looks dull because of the lighting, I have a hard time avoiding shadow to appear in the photo. Taking photos of nature and people will suit any time I guess. It is up to you on how you will make it look artistic whatever lighting is given to you.

    Taking pictures at night needs a proper light for it to looks clear. I think during the day is the best time to take pictures.

    At night you need a strong light and flash in order to capture it better. I hate flash because I have eye problem so I need to take pictures during daytime.

    I'm sorry to hear that. I actually find flash a bit uncomfortable as well. I agree with what you said. While it may somewhat help illuminate the picture, it can never replace proper lighting.

    I actually don't have a specific time of the day where I prefer to take photos. However, because I only use my Smartphone for taking photos, which does have a slightly incompetent camera, I always prefer to take photos during the day time because of the natural light that I can get which is good for my phone's camera because it's really bad with low light shots.

    Mine too. Phones have way better cameras these days. But they're not that good when it comes to night time photography. That's why most of us usually take pictures during the day. We don't have to set up any lighting equipment to improve the picture's luminosity.

    True. Phone cameras are totally better compared to how it was in the past especially during the era of basic phones but their downside as always is their capability to take good night shots. There is actually a lot of equipment that doesn't need a lot of time to set up like the ring light. However, they're kind of costly and the shots are also a bit over exposed so the personal preference would still matter in this case.

    Yeah. Ring lights do improve the brightness. But they tend to white wash the person's features. This is why a lot of users appear to be much whiter than their original appearance. It can also obscure their image.

    True. Ring lights can definitely make you look whiter but for an Asian like me, it's actually better because mostly, Asians prefer to have whiter skin and so a lot of people here loves to use ring lights. Actually, for me, ring lights are the best for taking videos especially for vlogs because it will definitely improve your visuals, although it's kind of faking your real image. But, who cares for as long as it will improve your image as a vlogger.

    Sometimes early morning is also a great time to take photos because everything is fresh under the sun. We can have a good angle as well because the light is not so powerful as compare when we are to shot during lunch time or afternoon. It is really good if we have some good cameras so that we can a better shots.

    I like it too. Early morning light is the gentlest. Especially, before 6 AM in the morning. You can see the faint color of blue skies reflected in the light coming from the sky. It photographs really well.

    Yes that is true, I have seen many people in my locality taking pictures and doing some photography early in the morning that is why I concluded that it was the best time to have some shots for some photo shoots that they are making. I feel more convenient to take pictures during this time because I can easily find some great angles to capture.

    That's nice to know. I also like early morning light because it makes fair people look stunning. It enhances their already white skin and gives it a subtle glow. It's so pretty. It looks as though moonlight is lighting their path.

    Yes that is right and I really want to study photography if I have the tome and money to do that so that I can be able to know more about its perfect shot and some techniques about it. Taking photos is really a great activity to do especially if we don't have much time to do on certain things.

    The best time to take photos is in the afternoon. The natural light that sun gives can make your skin looks glowing and beautiful! You don't need the other source of light since you can get it from the sun. Just make sure that you can get the right angle and you will be able to make a great picture.

    So true! I think people with warm undertones look great in bright sunlight. It makes them look healthy and illuminated. Though, it's tricky to get the right angle. But once you do, it's sure to be an Instagram worthy picture.

    Now I see why there are lots of lazy afternoon photos. It looks appealing.

    A friend of mine told that it was great to take photos during sunset. Especially when the sky has an orange color, it reflects on your skin. I never tried it but I think the touch of orange color on your skin can make your photo look great!

    I think so too. It looks amazing for those with warm undertones. Early daylight is perfect for those with cool undertones. That's how photographers manage to get that perfect shot using different models. They choose what goes well with the person's skin color.

    Your friend heard right! Apparently the best times to take photos are the hour when the sun is rising in the morning and the hour that the sun is setting in the evening! Which makes sense is the light isn't as harsh , the sky is beautiful, and at least for the morning people are still mostly asleep.

    Not too long ago, I searched the internet on how to get good pictures even without camera with just your phone and one of the tips there is getting a good lighting. Lighting is very important in every photos and tge vest time i think is before the sun set like 5-6 PM.

    Getting a natural lighting is better than artificial light. They give different effects on pictures.

    I have read an article saying that the best time to take photos outdoors is 2 hours before sunset and 2 hours after sunrise. So that's about 4PM in the afternoon and 7AM in the morning.

    Here's the link...

    The golden hours are after the sun has risen and before the sun goes down. The lights are well distributed during these hours and you won't get unwanted shadows on your photos. You can more or less control them during these hours.

    I have tried to take some shot and make some selfie this afternoon around 4: 30 pm and I find it to be cool and pleasant to eyes. The shot was really good because the light from the sun was already diminishing which gives an exact light that would not overcome our photos. It was simply amazing because it looks good and very nice.

    In this day of digital photography, you can pretty much create just about any ambiance you desire after the photo is taken. You just need a photo editing software of some kind, whether on your phone or computer, and work on the picture to your heart's content. You can't always wait for that perfect time of day to get the shot you want, especially if your subject matter is fleeting and you may not get another opportunity. So, in my case, it doesn't really matter to me what time of day I snap a photo, as long as there is enough light.

    The best time to take pictures is when the sun isn't at it's maximum brightness. 7 AM to 9 AM and 4 PM to 5 PM is best in my opinion. Getting the golden light from 5 PM to 6 PM is tricky as the sun can set extremely fast in these hours. Should you have to shoot outside those hours, you better have an ND filter with you as most of your shots will be overexposed.

    My preference would be during sunrise. I work in a resort where you have a backdrop of a beautiful sunrise. When I am on my morning shift, I go to the ocean where you can see the sunrise and the beautiful sky. It is really amazing. I also love taking pictures of the full moon when I am in the resort. The beauty of the moon that reflects on the ocean is breathtaking.

    I do love to take photos during dusk and dawn. It has either the romantic or mysterious vibe which, for the viewer, tells a story. I like taking candid photos because they are much more personalized and meaningful compared to selfies thus taking photos this time of the day adds more meaning to it..

    Lighting tends to add a dramatic and cinematic effect on photos. If you take a photo of the same subject during early morning and then again at sunset you'll see a big difference. Taking a photo under the soft lighting of early morning gives the photo a calm vibe. Taking pictures midday gives it an energetic and lively feel. And taking photos during sunset gives it a solemn, melancholy feel. I don't know if it's the same for everyone but that's just how I see it.

    It depends on the mood you want to have on your picture. As long as there is daylight that is free lighting for you so take advantage of it. Photos will have a different feel to them depending on the angles and time of day, photos taken at dawn, noon and dusk will all have a different vibe to them. Although you can now edit your photo afterwards anyway you want I still prefer to retain that natural look to it.

    I like taking pictures of sunsets, I like the colors and how it does something beautiful with my skin.
    I don't have a "best time of the day" to take photos as long as I have great lighting and I don't take photos using professional cameras, I just use my phone so it really doesn't matter to me.
