Golden Hours

Shooting against the sunlight at the perfect time is an excellent way to produce amazing images. Architecture excellence at this resort is no question, complementing the area, yourself, your friends or your loved ones with striking natural light from behind will result in an image you will want to share instantly to your social scenes. This moment is most commonly known as the golden hour or magic hour. Occurs twice a day, shortly after sunrise for one hour and one hour before sunsets. The key to succeeding during golden hours:

  1. Get the timing correct and don’t be afraid to wash out some details off the background.
  2. If using a camera, set the exposure level to above 0. Focus on making sure that the subject/model is bright enough. We don’t want to produce silhouettes.
  3. Allow the natural light immerse with the scene and get your models to strike a pose.
  4. Position the sun against you or on your right or left. Do not position the sun behind the photographer as the output can be dull with direct flat light coming through.

Although golden hours occur twice in a day, Padma Resort Ubud is best known for its heated pool. Thus, mist and fog from the pool will rise during the early hours of the sunrise which create a dreamy effect. Swim, eat your delicious breakfast, take fantastic photos of the wild nature, or simply lay near the pool and play online games. Padma Resort Ubud’s internet is fast enough for that.

  3. Jog through the jogging track down towards the bamboo forest, morning rays colour the scene with golden light.
  4. Fish feeding at the lobby area. Find a spot where the sunlight hits and shoot from across the garden.
  5. Animal feeding near the agroforestry garden. Feed the chickens, pigeons, rabbit, goat and Balinese cow. This can be done in the later hours of the golden moment around 8-9 am.
  6. Book a morning jungle trekking session and stroll through a scene with morning lights falling through the canopy, get your shot right and it feels like a movie scene.
