This is perfect for quickly finding that particular alignment you need for your shot, especially for the moon for which rise/set directions are far less intuitive. In addition to the sun, you can search for either new moon or full moon. This is one of the new features in the latest release of TPE for iPhone (v1.1):
- Visual sun search: find sunrise/set at a specified bearing
- Visual moon search: find full or new moonrise/set at a specified bearing
- Page descriptions: popup page description added to aid navigation through the app
- High resolution images for iPhone 4 and updated icons
The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) is a tool to help with the planning of all types of outdoor photography, but particularly landscape and urban scenes.
It is a map-centric sun and moon calculator: see how the light will fall on the land.
TPE's map-based approach means you are not limited to a predefined list of locations, which often don't include the places many photographers go. Instead, search for any place name on the planet or position the map pin exactly where you want it.
Advanced features including 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.
You can even determine when the sun or moon will be visible behind nearby hills and mountains.
