## What is Cairn?

Every great photo starts with knowing where to stand. Cairn is a map of
the world's photography spots, built by travelers — every pin is a real
photograph with the data that matters: the exact place, the month, the
time of day, and the light you can expect when you get there. 

FIND YOUR NEXT SHOT
• A world map where every pin is a photograph
• Search any destination — then pick the month you'll be there. Cairn
  shows only spots photographed in that season, so you never chase a
  summer shot in November
• Filter by what's in the shot: mountains, coastlines, waterfalls,
  night sky, architecture and more
• Tap any photo to see it full screen: who shot it, when, and the
  precise coordinates

KNOW WHEN TO GO
• Sunrise, sunset and golden hour — calculated for the spot itself,
  never your phone's clock
• The weather that was actually there when each photo was taken, plus
  what's typical for your month
• Tips from the photographer who stood there first

CONTRIBUTE IN SECONDS
• Upload a photo and Cairn reads the story out of it — location, date
  and time come straight from the photo itself
• Uploading is free. Always, for everyone.

YOUR LOGBOOK
• A world map that fills in country by country as you shoot
• Marks — quiet achievements for the milestones that matter: your
  first capital, a new continent, ten countries
• No streaks, no noise. Just a record that grows with you.
• Every country opens city by city — the places you've shot, each with
  your first visit
