What is the golden hour? Put generally,
it's the first hour after sunrise and the last hour
before sunset, the time of day when the sun is lowest in
the sky making shadows soft and color temperatures warm.
The light that the sun gives us during the golden hour
gives landscapes a rich hue not found during
midday.
There is an app for scheduling a painting
session around the golden hour called Golden Light. It uses
your location and global weather data to tell you exactly
what time the golden hour begins and ends.
After opening Golden Light for the first
time, it will ask you for permission to use your location.
If you agree, the Golden Light map will center on your
location and you'll get the golden hour times right away.
If you disagree, you'll have to choose your location
manually. To select a future date to base your painting
schedule on, tap the calendar icon in the upper right
corner.
Golden Light is free and works on an iPhone
or iPad. Type in "Golden Light" in your iphone app
store icon on your phone to find app.
Similiar apps are available on the web for
android phones.
