Nautical twilight occurs right after civil twilight in the evening [...]. This phase occurs when the center of the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon in the evening. This period also usually lasts around 30 minutes and the primary color cast across the atmosphere is usually a deep blue tone with still noticeable orange and yellow hues left over from the fading sun. [...].

During nautical twilight, the artificial lights in buildings and structures will really begin to take over the scene, and there are endless opportunities for compelling images. [...] take multiple images as the light conditions will change rapidly.

Photographer James Brandon explores the magical world of twilight that begins after the sun has disappeared beneath the horizon.
by James Brandon

[...] Twilight is the period of time in between day and night, and is caused by refraction and the suns rays scattering from the atmosphere. [...] there are three different phases of twilight [Civil Twilight, Nautical Twilight and Astronomical Twilight].
[...].
.
Civil twilight [phase I] is the brightest phase of twilight and occurs from the moment the sun dips below the horizon and lasts until the center of the sun is geometrically 6 degrees below the horizon (or from the time the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon until it hits the horizon in the morning). This period of time lasts about 30 minutes on average [...]. The horizon is clearly visible and taking handheld pictures is relatively easy to do. [...]. The light cast during this phase can be anywhere from warm golden tones to cool pink tones.

During civil twilight, the colors of the sky are going to be changing quickly. The sunset colors are going to go away and an entire new set of colors are going to splay out across the sky. These colors are going to become cooler in temperature as time goes on [...].
