Carrollton gets 4h 19m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 5:22 PM in December to 8:37 PM in June, so an evening shoot that works in summer will be shooting in the dark at the same clock time in winter.
Blue hour follows sunset and is worth planning for separately: in June it runs until about 9:06 PM, and in December until about 5:49 PM.
Golden hour is the period near sunrise and sunset when the sun is low. Blue hour occurs before sunrise and after sunset. Calculated times vary with location and date; weather, terrain and buildings can affect visible light.
