About
Viewfinder shows you the best spots for photography, with everything you need to know before you go. For photographers and influencers looking for popular locations or hidden gems.
Over 6,000 photo spots in 641 destinations, from the Golden Gate in fog to Moraine Lake at sunrise. Open any spot to see the shot, the hour to take it, and what the people who have stood there learned the hard way.
FIND THE SPOT
• Photo pins show what a place looks like before you tap
• Gold dots mark the famous spots. Violet dots mark the hidden gems most people walk past
• Filter by nature, hikes, mountains, coast, waterfalls, wildlife, architecture, the city and night
• See what is worth shooting near you, or search any city, park or landmark
• Save your favorites and show only those on the map
• Get an alert when you walk within 100 yards of a spot you haven't been to
FOLLOW A GUIDE
Guides link the best spots in a region into a route you can follow stop by stop, like Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Kyoto in one trip. Each guide shows its stops in order on the map and how long the whole route takes.
SEE EVERY ANGLE
• Every spot collects the photos taken there, best first, credited to the photographer
• What the spot is known for, at a glance
• Directions in Apple Maps, and whether you can fly a drone
KNOW WHEN TO GO (PRO)
• Sunrise, sunset and golden hour, in the spot's own time zone
• Moonrise, the moon's phase and the Milky Way window
• High and low tide at coastal spots
• An hourly forecast with wind and visibility, seven days out
TIPS THAT SAVE THE SHOT
Which lot fills before sunrise. When the fog pours through the Gate. Which lens stacks the tower against the skyline. Short, specific tips on the spots that need them, and room to leave your own.
MADE FOR IPHONE DUO AND IPAD
Open your iPhone Duo and the map fills the screen, with your list floating beside it. Closed, everything fits the outer display. On iPad, the list sits beside a full-screen map.
MADE BY A PHOTOGRAPHER
Curated by photographer Joshua Sortino. Photos by Joshua and by photographers on Unsplash and Wikimedia Commons, credited wherever they appear.
