Quote:Most users here probably know this, but for those who don't, there are more convenient tools for things like that. The Photographer's Ephemeris, for example, which is a free app for PC and costs only $5 for smartphones. IMHO apps like these shine on mobile phones, they can use GPS to automatically set your location and give you all the data right in the field.
Yes, the photographer's ephemeris also came to mind. However, the above application is somewhat different in that it gives the angle of the sun throughout the day on a map, with the angle color coded as to how high the sun is above the horizon. As pointed out, having this application on a gps phone would very quite useful, because - unlike TPE - it gives angles throughout the day. However, the golden hour seems a bit too narrowly defined.
