23+ Photographers Share How To Capture Sunlight Shine

There is nothing more majestic and awe-inspiring than the sun. With its bright hues illuminating the sky, it is a captivating subject to photograph. To experience the full beauty of the sun, there are a few techniques that will help you capture those stunning pictures. For example, try photographing the sun during sunrise or sunset, as these times of day offer unique shades of golden light that can’t be seen during other parts of the day.
