How to read the estimates

Golden hour is defined here as a solar elevation between −4° and +6°. Sunrise and sunset use the customary approximation for the solar disc and atmospheric refraction.

Terrain, cloud, sightlines and local access rules can change the light available on site. Coordinates are approximate reference points, not a recommendation for a particular shooting position.

Calculation basis: published solar equations from NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory
