The Photographer's Ephemeris - Our Daily App Giveaway

Welcome once again to our Daily App Giveaway section of theappwhisperer. We value our readers so much and that’s why we want to share our love of apps with you. Each day we give away free apps, better make us your home page 😉

Today we are giving away The Photographer’s Ephemeris apps, each worth $8.99/£5.99. This app is mentioned frequently in our A Day In The Life series of interviews, see here. The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE) helps you plan outdoor photography shoots in natural light, particularly landscape and urban scenes. It’s a map-centric sun and moon calculator: see how the light will fall on the land, be it day or night, for any location on earth.  TPE is a universal app with optimized user interfaces for both iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch devices.

Would you like to try it for free? Join our ever expanding Twitter followers and Facebook fans, RETWEET THIS POST and send a reply to the bottom of this page telling us what you love most about theappwhisperer.com. We will select winners at random from the selection of codes that we have and send them directly to your email box.

TPE’s map-based approach means you aren’t limited to a predefined list of locations, which often miss 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 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.

You can even determine when the sun or moon will be visible behind nearby hills and mountains.

Key Features

– Time and direction of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset
– Phase of the moon and % illumination
– Times of civil, nautical and astronomical twilight
– Graphical display on a map (Map, Satellite, Hybrid and Topographic views)
– Movable map pins – drag and drop the pin exactly where you need it
– Compass display built-in for scouting in the field (on compatible devices)
– Shadow lengths displayed to scale on map
– Save any location you want – no fixed lists
– Key celestial events for the year, including moon phases, solstices, equinoxes
– Does not require network connection for rise/set time, azimuths and sun/moon position

Advanced Features

– Automatic time zone detection for any location on earth
– Determines elevation above sea level
– View azimuth and altitude of sun/moon for any time of day/night
– Distance, bearing and elevation angle between any two points

Geek Features

– Find when the sun/moon will appear from behind a hill
– Visual sun and moon search: find rise/set date for a specified bearing between two map markers
– New crescent moon visibility
– Compensation for atmospheric refraction
– Compensation for elevation above the horizon
– Distance to the visible horizon

Hi,
Would love to get this on my iphone.
Its really a very useful application for photographer.

The site is really a very nice with lots of knowledge into it.. And so is one among major sites in the world which gets 5 stars in its hat continuously on Alexa reviews. Not at all a small thing to achieve. I would suggest all the users to put more and more ******(stars) in your hat.

Good wishes!!!

Wow! TPE? This is why The App Whisperer is my go-to site for all things iPhoneography. Every morning, and throughout the day, I make it somewhat a ritual to check out this site. Tutorials and reviews are my top reasons, but the giveaways are awesome. Now to have just an opportunity to get a copy of TPE would be a true blessing!
