Photography planning for New York City
The golden hour in New York City occurs twice daily β€” just after sunrise and just before sunset β€” offering warm, directional light ideal for portraits, landscapes, and street photography. The blue hour, occurring during civil twilight, provides a cool, even glow perfect for cityscapes and long exposures.
