In this short instructional video, the speaker emphasizes the importance of the golden hour and blue hour for travel photography. The golden hour occurs when the sun is low, providing warm, soft light, while the blue hour happens after sunset when the sky turns a deep blue. To capitalize on these lighting conditions, the speaker advises photographers to develop habits of rising early and staying out late, and to research specific photo setups and advantageous viewpoints for sunrise and sunset shots. The overall message is to plan ahead and align shooting schedules with these optimal times of day to capture striking travel images.

Focus on the golden and blue hours. For travel photography, there are 2 key times of day: the golden hour and the blue hour. The golden hour occurs when the sun is low in the sky, and the blue hour occurs when it is below the horizon and the sky is a gorgeous shade of blue. To take advantage of these 2 periods of the day, get in the habit of rising early and retiring late. You should also research photo setups and vantage points for sunrise and sunset photography.
