PhotoForecast

Finding the best light for outdoor photography is challenging.  PhotoForecast for the iPhone solves this problem by telling you when the sun is in the best position for lighting outdoor photographs.

Our simple-to-read Magic Hour meter tells you exactly when the sun is low in the sky for the best shots.  This makes planning times for your outdoor photo shoots easier than ever.

In addition, PhotoForecast uses your local weather conditions to give you tips on how to plan for your photo shoot.  Whether you should bring extra batteries because you are shooting in cold weather or you should bring sandbags due to high wind, PhotoForecast won’t let you down.

Weather forecasts are provided for the USA.  PhotoForecast is intended for use in the USA or for travelers to the USA.  Forecasts are not yet available for other countries, but we are working on it!
