Someone DM’d me an interesting website called Shademapp.app, and it looks really freaking useful for what we photographers need! Also, it’s free. Just go to the website https://shademap.app/, type your location, and swipe around to the time of day you’re interested in. It shows you a 3d map of how the sunlight vs shade will interact with all objects, even trees, based on their height! There’s another app I’ve mentioned here a few times over the years… http://photopills.com They use augmented reality with your actual phone’s camera to overlay the position of the sun (or moon!) with where you are:
This is extremely helpful if the sunset is officially 8:30pm, but falls below a treeline, or building etc earlier than that. That’s all! Hope you’re all doing well, and let me know if there are any other tools you find useful like these two 🙂
