Tip #9: Time & Timing

“Having spent years shooting by the seas of the world, it fascinates me to this day to see photographers packing their bags the second the sun drops below the horizon.

I love Blue Hour – the time between sunset and astronomical darkness – the time when the sun no longer has any impact on the atmosphere.”
