In this post, I would like to expand on the topic of twilight. It turns out that there are several types of them: civil, nautical and astronomical. All types of twilight depend on the angle of incidence of the sun's rays, which have already disappeared behind the horizon.
In simple terms, twilight is divided into three parts in time. For photographers, I would classify them in two directions: early and late.
In English, there are two concepts like twilight and dusk, which exactly corresponds to early and late nightfall.
And why all these difficulties? The blue hour can be divided into light blue and dark blue. That's all.
If twilight is the same as the blue hour, then I would like to understand, but is it really an hour?
This is where geography and physics come into play again.
That is, at different latitudes, the duration of twilight is different. The farther north, the longer twilight and the wider their range of types.
And beyond the Arctic Circle, twilight can last around the clock if the polar night is approaching.
At the latitude where I live (about 60 degrees), twilight lasts exactly one hour.
While at the equator the duration of twilight is only 20 minutes.
Landscapes and architecture are best at blue hour.
But I shoot everything at any time.
Frequently reviewing the archive, I realize that now I just exhaled without any blocks or self-restraints.
So much that sometimes I even want to limit yourself to something one-time.
Although sometimes the creative task is already a limitation.
