The story behind the perfect light app
The Golden Hour Calculator was created by photographers for photographers with one simple goal: to never miss the perfect light again. We know that timing is everything when it comes to capturing stunning images, and the difference between ordinary and extraordinary often comes down to being in the right place at the right time.
Unlike generic sunrise/sunset apps, our calculator is specifically designed for photographers who understand the value of golden hour and blue hour. We provide precise timing for these magical periods based on your exact location, not just generic times for your city.
Our app uses advanced astronomical calculations through the SunCalc library to determine exact times for:
These calculations take into account your precise latitude and longitude, elevation, and the specific date to ensure accuracy down to the minute.
This tool was developed by a team of landscape and portrait photographers who were tired of either missing the perfect light or spending hours calculating it manually. We've used our experience to create what we believe is the most user-friendly and accurate golden hour calculator available.
We understand the importance of privacy. That's why our app only uses your location data to calculate sun times. No personal data or location information is stored or transmitted to any server. Your privacy is completely respected.
