Whether you are an amateur or season professional photographer, it's always good to learn new tricks to add to your repertoire. You may have noticed that some photographers capture their most brilliant photos using nature's natural lighting. There are two magical times of the day where nature's lighting is best to capture some outstanding photos. A lot of times photographers will capture their best photos using nature's light during these time frames.
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 do want to make your photographs appear fresh and light, then you will want to use natural lighting from one of the magical time periods. There are specifically two time periods during the day when mother nature gives out the best lighting to capture the most amazing photographs. The first time period is in the morning and the second is around sunset. The first time period occurs in that half hour after the sun rises over the horizon. The second time period is the time during the sunset from a half hour before sunset to a half hour after sunset.
There are three great reasons why these particular times of day are amazing for capturing great photographs. Those reasons have to do with the color, quality and direction the natural lighting provides.
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.
