Winter nights
‘After Dark’

April to September
6.00pm to 9.00pm

From around late autumn to early spring, daylight hours in Hobart are reduced with sunset occurring earlier in the evening. In early April & and late September there is natural ambient light to start with until darkness sets in. In mid-winter, the sun sets as early as 4.45pm.

Summer twilights
‘Dusk to Dark’

October to March
7.00pm to 10.00pm

From around mid-spring to mid-autumn, daylight hours allow for a combination of twilight and night photography. In mid-summer, the sun sets as late as 8.50pm. The atmospheric light of ‘golden-hour’ and ‘blue-hour’ is what you’ll experience during this time.

‘Golden hour occurs in the lead up to sunset, as the sun approaches the horizon; it’s a time that the intensity of sunlight is reduced and when remaining natural light is a golden hue.
* ‘Blue hour’ occurs immediately after sunset when the sun is just below the horizon; a residual and indirect light produces a blue hue and visibility of the stars commences.
