Magic Time in Vegas

‘Magic Time’ is when you get this really nice shade of blue in the sky that balances the lights from the city…

There are two ‘Magic Time’ periods each day – twilight dawn before sunrise and twilight dusk after sunset. The ‘Magic Time’ window is very short – about 15 to 20 minutes – so choose an area that you want to shoot from and just focus on getting the shot(s) you want. 

I caught both ‘Magic Time’ windows in Vegas…

Twilight dusk after sunset

From the start of ‘Magic Time’ to the end, there are various shades of blue and my favourite is somewhere near midway of ‘Magic Time’. It really depends on your personal preference though…

If you notice, the feeling of both ‘Magic Time’ periods are different – the morning one has a more tranquil feel to it with less activity and less lights from the buildings.

Thank you Vegas for the magic – till next time!
