Golden hour is the hour or so after sunrise and before sunset, when the sun sits low and the light turns warm.
Why it works from above
- Long shadows give roofs, trees and gardens depth and shape
- Warm light makes brick, stone and grass look richer
- Softer contrast means fewer harsh, blown-out areas on roofs and paths
When midday is fine
Roof checks and construction updates often want flat, even light, because detail matters more than mood. For those, the middle of the day is ideal.
