Daily Sun Altitude Table全天太阳高度表

Hour by hour, how high is the sun and where is it? The classic scouting table for any date and place.逐小时查看太阳的高度与方位——任意日期与地点的经典踩点参考表。

  1. Set your location and date.设置你的地点与日期。
  2. Scan the altitude column: below 10° is your warm golden light; 10–45° is pleasant side light; above 60° is harsh midday.浏览高度列:10° 以下是温暖的黄金光线;10–45° 是宜人的侧光;60° 以上是生硬的正午光。
  3. The azimuth column tells you which direction light will come from at each hour — match it to your subject's best side.方位列告诉你每个小时光线从哪个方向来——与主体最美的一面相匹配。
Use the table to pick a "light direction" for architecture: facades facing north never get direct sun in the northern hemisphere — time them for blue hour instead.用表格为建筑选择“光线方向”:北半球朝北的立面永远没有直射阳光——改在蓝调时刻拍摄它们。
