Golden hour, blue hour & daylight in Sydney
Golden hour is the soft, warm light while the sun sits between −4° and +6° of the horizon — a photographer's favourite window. Blue hour is the cooler stretch on the far side, the sun between −6° and −4°. The exact times shift a little every day, so the windows above are computed for today with the NOAA solar model.
Sydney sits at 33.9° S, in the temperate band. That means daylight swings from about 9h 54m at the June solstice down to 14h 25m around Christmas — a clear seasonal shift. The higher the latitude, the longer and more dramatic golden hour becomes.
