Due to my working hours, I get to shoot way more often at sunsets rather than early mornings. Both times of the day are great to shoot, needless to say. Early mornings you can get these soft subtle colours, warm light. On late afternoons there’s more drama, atmosphere and deep contrasts.
Here’s the sequence of 3 images from the same location.
Thank you for stopping by! Are You a sunrise or a sunset person? Any particular reason? Please, leave a comment 🙂

I’m much more a sunset guy. Sunrises are beautiful, and I’m awake for them most of the year (except in like June when the sun is up so early) — but I’m NOT a morning person and am still drinking coffee sufficient for me to function at that time!
Thanks Jim! I know exactly what you mean about morning coffee. I need to have 2 or 3 at work to start being operational 🙂
Gorgeous. I guess I’m a bit of a drama queen so sunset is more for me. As a photographer anyway. Sunrise is rarer in my case. Something I like to enjoy with a respectful silence and reverence… 😉
Thanks V! If it didn’t depend on my work hours, i think it would be a question of how i’m feeling on that day. Sunrises are also great but i have to say i do prefer the end of the day to photograph.
I have a perfect spot in mind where I want to go and experiment sunsets – or rather evening lights. But it’s an hour-drive away so I have to be sure the sky will be clear (+ plan my return before 6pm… Aaaargh!).
Yep, planning is very important at the moment. Those restrictions can be a pain in the A***!
A pain in the Art!!! 🤣
I can be quite happy to work with either sunrise or sunset. Hard to beat a sunset after a storm passes though.
Thanks Scott and absolutely, some weather conditions combined with a beautiful sunset are hard to beat!
If I had to choose (and both can be wonderful), then I’d go for sunrise.
If only I could drag myself out of bed to see them more often…
Thanks. I guess you really gotta be a morning person to make an effort to shoot early or maybe have a project that pushes you to do so.
I like the silhouetted figures against that dramatic sky 🙂 But please don’t make me choose between sunrises and sunsets – I love both!
Thanks Sarah! You’re right, each is wonderful in its own way 🙂
Lovely silhouettes Yur, especially the one talking on her phone.
Personally, I’m more sunsets person, bcos I’m more active in the evenings than in the early mornings,
But for photography, I prefer the middle of the days just less in summers, but other seasons, when the sun is low enough but still strong and creates the long shadows and additional geometry.
Thank you Victor, sunsets do remain one of the favorite time to shoot for most i feel. And like you said it depends on a season and your availability.
And you’re doing this great
