I recently came across this Online Golden Hour Calculator.
The calculation is automatic as long as the web site can determine the user's location from their IP Address.
The Golden Hour (also called the Magic Hour) is the period of time after sunrise and before sunset where natural lighting conditions are "best". This period of time produces softer edges do to the diffused sunlight, softer contrast, longer shadows and warmer tones.
The actual time varies and is based on a location's latitude and the time of year. The "best" natural lightinf conditions when the sun is at an altitude of 10-12 degrees (or less). There are locations where the sun never rises above this point during certain times of the year. The "Golden Hour" lasts all day in these locations.
According to the calculator, the Golden Hour for this evening where I'm located starts at 4:27 pm and lasts until 5:06. That's roughly 40 minutes, and not an actual hour.
