GoldenHour helps us find out what is the best time and place to take great pictures

The main novelty that the new iPhone 7 Plus has brought us has to do with the camera, that dual camera that thanks to the iOS software, allows us to create excellent portraits with the background out of focus. For some time now, many users have decided to put compact cameras aside and focus solely on making use of smartphone cameras, since more or less and saving distances, they offer us practically the same quality. However, the use of DSLR cameras has also become very popular in recent years, although for some time now it seems that interest has also waned.

DSLR cameras are sold independently, although we can find packs that include a lens of a more than fair quality but to start with more than enough. If you like photography, we sure know the terms blue hour and golden hour. Both terms refer to specific hours throughout the day in which we can take advantage of the light conditions of the sun to achieve excellent results, either with a DSLR camera, a compact camera or the smartphone camera, although in the latter cases the result is not always as satisfactory.

For all those users who like photography and do not want to be aware of the blue hour or the golden hour, the GoldenHour app for iOS is the solution. This application informs us of the time when the golden hour begins (in which the images take a yellowish color) and the blue hour, the hour in which the sky turns an intense blue color and that offers us spectacular results. In addition, this application also informs us of where we should go to obtain the best results, since the sun does not always rise or hide in the same place.

To be able to offer us this data, GoldenHour makes use of the GPS of our device, so we can use it anywhere in the world. It also takes into account the weather conditions to calculate the time slot to be able to go out and take our photographs to take advantage of the blue hour and the golden hour. If you like photography and you have a DSLR camera, this application is ideal for you. In particular, I have been testing it for a few months and I have to admit that it is ideal to take advantage of these precious hours, which leaves us with spectacular results.
