Default Ever used this site?

Thought you guys would like to see this site:

The Golden Hour Calculator / Sunrise and Sunset information for photographers

It supposedly shows the best times of the day for photography.

Based on this evenings time frame this seems dead on. I suppose I will use it and see how accurate it is. Thanks for posting this.

That looks handy. They're not using Google maps, though. It has completely the wrong name on the river that runs near my place.

Yeah, I don't like the way the map works either. But I think it's a bit of a handy tool. They also have an iPhone app for it.

I also found this for Windows Mobile users. It works for my Windows Mobile 6.1 phone (AT&T Tilt).

I personally like The Photographer's Ephemeris | Plan your shoot similar in a way, though not really about the golden hour so much as sunrise and sunset locations and where the sun is throughout the day.

Wot??? Doesn't everyone know where New Zealand is?? We're the place with orcs and elves and stuff, just north of Antarctica

BTW, the website got the name of the local river here wrong too.
