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 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.
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.
Times are shown in your browser's local timezone, including DST adjustments if applicable.
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 period.
During polar summer/winter, the sun may never set or never rise. The calculator will show appropriate messages for these conditions.
