Description
Are you tired of guessing when the perfect light will fall on your outdoor photography shoot? Say hello to The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE), the app that's got your back. TPE is the go-to app for any nature photographer, as it helps plan outdoor shoots in natural light.
With TPE, you can get at-a-glance information on today's sun, moon and Milky Way data for your current location, or plan a precise alignment of the full moon for a future shoot. The app is a map-centric Sun, Moon and Milky Way calculator, which means you can see how the light will fall on the land, day or night, for any location on earth.
Here are some of the key features of TPE that will make your outdoor photography experience a breeze:
- Time/direction of sun, moon, and galactic center rise/set
- Milky Way, stars, and asterisms visualization via 3D map overlay
- Moon phase and % illumination
- Civil, nautical and astronomical twilight
- 2 topographic maps
- 2 offline map types
- Movable map pins: drag and drop the pin exactly where you need it
- Map autorotation using the compass (on compatible devices)
- Shadow lengths displayed to scale on map
- Save any location you want: no fixed lists
- Celestial events including moon phases, apogee, perigee, solstice, equinox
- Network connection not required for rise/set time, azimuths and sun/moon position
But that's not all! TPE also offers advanced features, including visual sun and moon search, automatic time zone and elevation detection, correction for atmospheric refraction and height above the horizon, ensuring that you have the best possible information for planning your shoot.
And for the geeks out there, TPE offers line of sight analysis, which helps you find when the sun/moon will appear from behind a hill or ridge, azimuth or altitude search priority, new crescent moon visibility, and distance to the visible horizon.
With TPE, you can research and save your own list of favorite photographic locations, using 7 different map types (including 2 offline maps) and save them in your locations list. Favorite locations are always displayed right on the map.
Night mode features a 3D representation of the Milky Way, pole stars and major constellations directly over the map, so you can easily visualize exactly how to align your shot.
Here's how to use TPE in three easy steps:
1. Choose your location on the map
2. Select the date and time you plan to shoot
3. View the sun, moon, and Milky Way data for that location and time
