<\/strong>If you are taking photographs outside, try and make sure the sun is about 90 and 180 degrees to one side, so you get the best depth of light &#8211; also known as \u201cfall off\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change your perspective &#8211; <\/strong>During golden hour, the temptation is often to try to capture the setting sun, rather than what\u2019s around you. Use the golden glow to capture everyday objects in a new light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay put &#8211; <\/strong>There\u2019s often temptation to move from one spot to the next during golden hour, but just keep shooting from where you are.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-golden-hour-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-269375\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-golden-hour-5-640x311.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung golden hour 5\" width=\"640\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-golden-hour-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-269377\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-golden-hour-6-640x311.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung golden hour 6\" width=\"640\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Weber added that the Samsung Galaxy S9&#8217;s low-light capabilities make it an invaluable travelling companion for professional photographers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having a handset with advanced low-light capabilities in your pocket as you travel means you can capture these one-off moments without having to edit afterwards,&#8221; said Weber.<\/p>\n<p>All the photos in this article were captured with the Samsung Galaxy S9+.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is its unique camera design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":260915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[26,52,13187,13249],"class_list":["post-260911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-headline","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-galaxy-s9","tag-uli-weber"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260911"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260911\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260917,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260911\/revisions\/260917"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
