Sunrise, Sunset


On the Summer Solstice, sunset is at 10:45 p.m., and sunrise is at 4:00 a.m. The sun sets about 36 degrees west of north and rises about 36 degrees east of north.
It turns out that a "normal" lens (50mm) on a 35mm film camera has an angle of view of about 39 degrees, so you took a sunset photo with the sun on the left edge of the frame and then a sunrise photo with the sun on the right edge, you could paste the 2 together and have both sunset and sunrise.
I took 3 photos and stitched them together. Sunset is over the shipyard. Sunrise is over St. Olav church. Had to get up at 3:30 and climb Toompea hill for the second shot.
