The context
Why try this quest?
The quest is about a visible quality of light rather than a guaranteed clock time. A road glow, long shadow or warm sky can help tell the story.
Practical tips
- Tap the bicycle or rider on the screen to preserve detail in the darker subject.
- Use the low sun from the side when direct glare hides the scene.
- Try a simple road or horizon line to keep the warm light dominant.
