Whether you're shooting portraits, real estate or just chasing a good sky, this is when the light works in Green Bay. Every time below is computed live for Green Bay's coordinates and updates for any date.

Local tip: Golden hour moves every single day. If you're planning a shoot more than a week out, check the date itself — the window can shift by 20+ minutes.

Golden hour is not the same length all year in Green Bay. It is longest in December at about 48 minutes and shortest in September at about 38 minutes — a difference of 10 minutes of usable warm light per evening.
Green Bay gets 6h 41m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 4:12 PM in December to 8:38 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 9:15 PM, and in December until about 4:46 PM.
Golden hour is the stretch just after sunrise and just before sunset, when the low sun turns hard daylight into soft, warm, directional light — the most flattering natural light for portraits, real estate, product and landscape photography. Blue hour follows sunset (and precedes sunrise): a short window of deep, even blue that's ideal for twilight real estate shots and skylines. Both windows change with latitude and season, which is why this page computes them live instead of guessing.
Kanyon Studio is a San Diego photography and video studio — golden hour is our home field. Brand shoots, products, real estate and portraits, planned around exactly this light.
