Eid says more interesting photographs can be taken during the 'golden hour,' which falls during the early morning and late afternoon, as the light is softer
Eid has learnt to make the best out of staying home, taking a series of photographs of Dubai Marina from his balcony
Shooting during the golden hour can also help achieve more dramatic results, especially if the sky is cloudy
The golden and blue hours will vary depending on where you are, so Eid recommends using the PhotoPills application to make sure you don’t miss them
As shooting from a balcony provides certain limitations, Eid says the experience has inspired him to think more creatively and experiment with different equipment
Eid’s favourite time of day to shoot is during the blue hour, a period of twilight when the colour of the sky ranges from blue to dark blue
The evening can be a great time to photograph, but it can also present its own set of challenges
