If you are a photographer, or just an amateur looking to learn about lighting in photography, you may have noticed that a lot of photographers capture some amazing photos using natural lighting. There are a couple of periods throughout the day when natural lighting can be used to capture some really amazing photographs. Many photographers use these time periods to capture some of their best photos.
The emotion of the image you are capturing obviously will have an effect on the type of lighting you choose to capture your image. If you are trying to bring out the emotions of a delicate flower, then you will probably want to use natural, soft day light, whereas if you are trying to make the flower look like a dark and twisted flower from an outer world, the lighting you choose may be a lot different to make the flower look harsh.

If you are going for that more softer natural looking dewy look then you will want to use one of the two time periods throughout the day to take advantage of natural light. There are two times of the day when mother nature gives us the best lighting to capture the most beautiful photographs. The first time period is in the morning and is the first half hour after the sun rises over the horizon. The next time period is the time in which the sun sets, the half hour before the sun sets, and the half hour right after the sun sets.
There are many reasons why these two times of day provide the best lighting to capture the most amazing photographs. Three of the reasons are because of color, quality and the direction provided by the natural lighting provided by sunrise and sunset.
The color captured in photographs taken at these two magical times results in saturated, warm colors. This is because the amount of white light is less during these two times compared to other times of the day. Photographs taken during these times produce soft shadows and gentle tonal transitions which improves the overall quality of the photographs. Because of where the sun is located during these two time frames, photographs will emphasize shapes and textures.
One of the best times to take photographs is during the sun set. This is because the most intense display of colors occurs naturally during the 20 minutes before and after sunset. Sunrise and sunset produce different effects with lighting and at sunset the clouds will be illuminated brightening the sky. In essence the direction of the lighting has changed. During this time you can take advantage of the sky by using it as a backdrop to your photographs.
