Low Sun: Long Shadows

Adjustments.jpeg

The sun is not at a low angle and creates some interesting photo opportunites at odd hours of the day. Even at mid-day, it is low on the horizon. This makes shadows very long, and extends the golden hour).

So how low is that sun in the sky? Check out this app: SunCalc

Here is what it can do ... and look that the shadow difference computed in the Jan 5 vs June 22 photo:

SunCalc shows the movement of the sun and sunlight-phase for a certain day at a certain place.

You can change the suns positions for sunrise, selected time and sunset see. The thin yellow-colored curve shows the trajectory of the sun, the yellow deposit shows the variation of the path of the sun throughout the year. The closer a point in the center, the higher the sun above the horizon. The colors in the above time-slider shows the sunlight during the day. The sun on the time slider can be moved by mouse or with the arrow keys of the keyboard
