Your slot should match your visual goal.
Visibility vs Color
- Mid‑morning often yields the sharpest air.
- Golden hour adds warmth; night reveals geometry via lights.
Seasonality Quick Guide
| Season | Daylight | Weather Note | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winter | Short days | Clear, cold snaps = great visibility | Book mid‑morning |
| Spring | Lengthening | Showers + rainbows potential | Keep flexible |
| Summer | Long days | Heat haze possible | Aim early/late |
| Autumn | Crisp light | Fog risk at dawn | Book with reschedule window |
Bottom Line
If you love city lights, go just after dusk. For crystal‑clear detail, target mid‑morning on a crisp day.
