Twilight Calculator

Photographers are always in search of that magic time they call “Twilight” or “Magic Hour”.  Not the fancy glittery vampire kind, but rather that magic time where the Sun and Moon align to give some truly spectacular lighting opportunities for photographs.  Now you can predict your own Twilight times with a great Google Maps mashup online.

Simply select your location on the map, and pick a Month and year.  Click Submit and then be presented with a slew of information on sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset, and much more.  A great tool for any photographer.
