Hourberry definition: golden hour is approximated while the Sun is between −4° and +6° altitude. Photography definitions vary, and terrain/clouds can materially change usable light.

Golden hour is a convention

Different photographers and apps use different solar-altitude boundaries. Hourberry shows the definition next to the result instead of implying one universal standard.
