Forget Golden Hour, Shoot the Blue Moment

By A Mystery Man Writer

Golden hour, that time around sunrise and sunset that gives a warming orange glow, is often purported as the best time of the day for photography. But most of those people don't know the magic of the blue moment. The saying goes that it's always darkest before the dawn. While that isn't strictly true because it entirely depends where you are on earth and at what time of year, dawn is actually what we're looking at for the blue moment. It's that special time of day where everything in the landscape seems to fade into itself.
