The first night of our Iceland tour was my first experience during the Midnight Sun. I must say that having light for 24 hours it is a photographer’s dream. There is actually a sunrise and a sunset each day. During our trip, the sun rose a little before 3am and set a little before midnight. During that three hours between sunrise and sunset, it gets a little darker but it is still pretty bright. I took this photo at 12:30am and you can see that it is quite light out. During normal times and locations, landscape photographers best photos are taken during what is known as the golden hour each day (one hour after the sun rises over the horizon and one hour before the sun sets below the horizon). During this time, the light is at its best with soft golden glow bathing the landscape. During the time of the midnight sun, the golden hour stretches out for multiple hours which increases the chances of capturing some magical moments.
