What is golden hour?
The time just after sunrise and just before sunset when the sun is low, its light comes through more of the atmosphere, and everything turns warm and soft, with long shadows. Here it means the sun between 6° above and 4° below the horizon, a common convention among photographers; the times come from the sun’s position alone, so clouds and haze change how it actually looks.
