Yes, I've heard that, and find sunset times good for taking photos, but never tried sunrise before. However, the Summer Solstice is coming up soon, and I've found a nice high vantage spot in the countryside to watch the sunrise, so I'm hoping that the weather will be good and I might get some good shots.

I do think that they also use special filters/editing a lot of the time to really make the colours 'pop', as I've tried photographing sunsets and the colours are not as vivid as what my eye can see. But maybe that was my phone camera, and my new camera would be better, idk?
