You say where, we say when! Photo Scout is your intelligent photography location assistant, scouting out your spots to tell you exactly when that perfect photo opportunity comes around. You’ll never miss the perfect sunset again!

It’s for anyone who loves to be creative with a camera — be it an iPhone, DSLR/mirrorless camera, drone, film camera, or anything else! • If you love to travel, Photo Scout lets you enjoy your time away on that once-in-a-lifetime trip instead of spending it manually checking conditions. For the frequent traveller, the Instant Inspiration feature makes things even simpler by analysing the conditions at a chosen location and giving intelligent photo suggestions with just a couple of taps. • If you love a good sunset, sunset vibrancy requirements are for you. Perfect for that romantic bucket list trip! • If you love to fly drones, Photo Scout lets you fly safely with wind speed requirements. • If you love the night sky, Photo Scout lets you capture the cosmos with cloud cover, aurora, sunlight cycle, and moon requirements. • If you're a videographer or multi-day shooter, the opportunity chart feature helps keeps shots consistent by showing all upcoming opportunities for scenes over the coming days.
