The other time is as well as good for documentation or photo-journalistic purpose, but to get ‘Dreamlike Landscape Images’ using those magic times to get an amazing result. Keep in your eye to draw by lines, angles, textures, contrast and light with the right compositions and aesthetics that is very important to takes Dreamlike Landscape Images.
MORNING TIME: About 15 minuets before sunrise and than form 30 minuets afterward.
EVENING TIME: About 30 minuets before sunset and than form 15 minuets afterward.
