Title: Useful tool for outdoor photography ...
Post by: thadm on March 30, 2013, 12:27:59 pm

I’m responsible for a website about sunlight and time, and maybe this planner tool could interest you:

Data are tested and compared with results from the US Naval Observatory and are found valid ...
Best regards,

Very nice, Torben. I like how the arrows change colour.
The only thing I might add is a note that these times are for horizons. A little topography at high latitudes changes things quite a bit.

Hi Torben,

Have you had a look at photoephemeris.com. They do a more developed version of this idea as a download-and-run application, and have a free version for Mac and Windows and pay-for versions for various little devices.
Your idea is more versatile being web-served.
Good work!

Kevin

Great job Torben.  The user interface is very clean and easy to understand.  I have TPE already, but I'd pay for an Android version of your app too.

I am sure everyone here is aware of TPE. I was not as I am not an avid Landscaper but of late was suggested this tool by a friend. In case someone looks in who has not here is the link. http://stephentrainor.com/tools (http://stephentrainor.com/tools) A free tool and what seems very precise?
