Two great moods, two different results. Choose based on the story you want your photos (and memory) to tell.

Sunset Strengths
- Golden hour warms buildings and rivers.
- Twilight gradient paints rich transitions in the sky.
- City details remain visible as lights turn on.
Night Strengths
- Dazzling grid of lights — an aerial starfield.
- Reflections become part of the composition.
- Distant haze no longer matters.
Side‑by‑Side Comparison
| Aspect | Sunset → Twilight | Night |
|---|---|---|
| Mood | Warm, romantic, layered | Futuristic, electric |
| Detail | Buildings + skyline readable | Emphasis on patterns of light |
| Reflections | Manageable with care | Strong; can be used creatively |
| Crowds | Busiest window | Calmer after blue hour |
| Flexibility | Weather‑sensitive | Weather‑resilient |
Practical Picks
- If you want detail + drama: sunset into twilight.
- If you love pure ambience: full night after blue hour.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Pressing your lens hard on glass (causes shake and smears).
- Wearing bright tops that reflect in windows.
- Arriving exactly at sunset; you’ll miss setup time and the gradient.
Tip: Bring a lens cloth. Fingerprints and micro‑smudges multiply at night.
Mini‑Checklist
- Arrive 30–45 minutes before sunset for a window spot.
- Dim or turn off your phone’s screen lights to cut glare.
- Use corner panes for reflection‑based symmetry.
