Golden hour is the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when daylight is softer and warmer in hue. It typically lasts 30-60 minutes and is highly prized by photographers for its flattering, directional light. Our tool calculates exact golden hour times based on the sun's elevation angle, typically between 6 degrees below and 6 degrees above the horizon.
Blue hour is the period before sunrise or after sunset when the sun is below the horizon but indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade. It occurs when the sun is between 4 and 8 degrees below the horizon, creating ideal conditions for cityscape and landscape photography.
