*GOLDEN LIGHT

​

During the "Golden Light" the light is soft, the colors warm, the shadows so long that they tend to disappear and the level of contrast is satisfactory despite the reduced dynamics. This situation occurs when the sun is very low on the horizon and therefore only in the instants after sunrise and before sunset. Its duration and intensity change according to the seasons and latitudes. On average, the duration go from 20 to 40 minutes and the intensity is greatly affected by the particular weather conditions.
