Calculate golden hour, blue hour, sunrise, and sunset times for any location and date. Perfect for planning outdoor shoots.
Golden Hour is the period shortly after sunrise and before sunset when the sun is low in the sky, producing a warm, soft, diffused light. It typically lasts about an hour (hence the name) but varies by location and season.
Blue Hour is the twilight period before sunrise and after sunset when the sun is below the horizon but the sky takes on a deep blue color. Great for cityscapes and moody photography.
How accurate are these times? Times are calculated using standard astronomical formulas and should be accurate within a few minutes. Actual light conditions may vary due to weather, terrain, and atmospheric conditions.
What about Daylight Saving Time? Times are shown in your local timezone, including DST adjustments if applicable.
Why does golden hour length vary? Near the equator, the sun rises and sets more vertically, making golden hour shorter. At higher latitudes, the sun's path is more angled, extending the golden hour.
