What is golden hour in Singapore?
In Singapore, sunset or golden hour usually happens between 6pm to 7pm, so be sure to catch it during that time or you’ll miss it. It also happens to be the best time to snap a #goldenhour couple pic for the ‘gram, with the warm, golden hues from the sun shining on you both.
