A couple essential links for landscape photographers

A standby sight of mine for tracking the various stages of twilight is the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command sunset moonrise table:

You can plug in cities or coordinates of anyplace on the globe, to get a break down of all the phases of Twilight.

Perhaps even better is "The Photographer's Ephemeris"

I'm still checking this out, so we'll be evaluating it together.

If you want to listen to a great podcast that describes what happens to light during the day -- particularly during dawn and sunset, Craig Tanner has a great podcast on the subject:

The Ebb & Flow of Natural Light
