Golden hour — that warm, directional light right after sunrise and before sunset — can make or break an outdoor shoot. This calculator gives you the exact windows for golden hour and blue hour at any location, on any date. It also shows you where the sun will be in the sky so you can plan your angles ahead of time. No more guessing, no more showing up too late.
Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimated sun position and lighting times based on standard astronomical algorithms. Actual conditions may vary due to local terrain, elevation, weather, and atmospheric conditions. Times are approximations and should not be used for navigation or safety-critical applications. Always scout your location in advance when planning a shoot.
