Lighting can make or break your photos, so knowing how to work with the light you have is the starting point for visually stunning images. For soft, flattering and golden light, the famous \u201cgolden hour\u201d (the hour just after sunrise and just before sunset, when the sun is low on the horizon) is when our photographers love to shoot. When the sky is an explosion of colours and there\u2019s no harsh shadows from an overhead sun, it\u2019s nearly impossible to take a bad photo! At Flytographer, we\u2019re big advocates for waking up early for morning golden hour, when the streets are empty and you have the city to yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_1\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_1\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lestari-Hairul-\u2013-Barcelona-\u2013-12-15-2018-Flytographer-FRANCESCA2.jpeg\" alt=\"Best time of the day to take photos\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/destinations\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Francesca in Barcelona for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Miyuki-Shimizu-\u2013-Paris-\u2013-03_07_2019-Flytographer-OLGA-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Best time of the day to take photos\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-paris-meet-olga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Olga in Paris for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_column -->\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_row --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_2\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lestari-Hairul-\u2013-Barcelona-\u2013-12-15-2018-Flytographer-FRANCESCA.jpeg\" alt=\"Best time of the day to take photos\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/destinations\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Francesca in Barcelona for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><strong>What should be in the photo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have the right light, it\u2019s time to think about composition.

Imagine using portrait mode on your iPhone; this shallow depth of field means the focus will be on your subject with a blurry background. Alternatively, a wide depth of field where more of the background is in focus will bring the viewers attention to both the subject and the scene. We find that a wider depth of field is important for vacation photography because showing off your destination is half the fun! Just look for the aperture on your camera, and the bigger the number, the wider the depth of field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Background is out of focus)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_6\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Abbie-Linnerud-\u2013-Kona-\u2013-01-27-2020-Flytographer-SARAH2.jpeg\" alt=\"What is depth of field?\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_14  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/destinations\/kona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Sarah in Kona for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">WIDE DEPTH OF FIELD<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Background is in focus)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_7\">\n<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Abbie-Linnerud-\u2013-Kona-\u2013-01-27-2020-Flytographer-SARAH.jpeg\" alt=\"What is depth of field?\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_15  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/destinations\/kona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo: Sarah in Kona for Flytographer<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How can I tell a story with my photos?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019re ready to take beautiful photos, it\u2019s time to bring life into them.
