Photo Location Planner

Are you a landscape photographer? Do you need to plan when and where you need to go to capture the perfect sunrise or sunset photograph?

Aalisoft has developed an app that lets you see when the sun rises and sets as well as the direction on an interactive map. The times and directions depend on two things: the date and place. Before the exact times can be calculated, the position needs to be pointed on the map and the desired date needs to be selected (by default it is today but you can plan ahead and select whatever date you desire).

There are three different types of twilights:

• astronomical (dark enough for astronomical observations)
• nautical (dark enough for nautical navigation based on stars)
• civil (starting to get dark for the human eye)

All these three twilights will also be calculated and shown on the screen. See a good explanation on the different twilights here as it relates to photography.
