How to Plan a Golden Hour Shoot

  • Check today’s times. Use your nearest place or postcode page.
  • Scout. Arrive early, mark foregrounds and leading lines.
  • Mind the horizon. Hills, buildings, and trees shift perceived timing.
  • Backup plan. Overcast? Blue-hour city shots or close-ups can still shine.
  • Safety & access. Respect private land and changing light after sunset.
