Golden Hour Calculator

The Golden Hour in photography is the first or last hour of sunlight where the indirect sunlight is evenly diffused and helps produce a softer and more warm light. Local Lens uses The Golden Hour Calculator to help calculate the golden hour for destinations all over the world. It also specifies the exact sunrise and sunset time for that part of the world.

Another app we use to find the best time for natural light based on a location is called GoldenHour.One by Hana Kusova. Check out their “Sky Index” which shows the probability of having a dramatic sky that day, or the “Light Index” which determines the local quality of light and temperature.
