Focalware vs Photo

Focalware calculates sun and moon position for a given location and date. Use the interactive compass to determine the path and height of the sun or moon. Photographers and filmmakers who are always asked by their clients for the sun, moon and stars, can now deliver. Features - Support for compass on devices that have one - Integrated map for custom locations - Sun/Moon rise and set times - Sun/Moon azimuth and elevation - Moon phase - Magnetic declination - Results shown graphically or on a list - Location list of major world cities - Manually create and save a list of custom locations - GPS support - Calculate sun/moon position for today or any date in the future - Works with current location or anywhere in the world "Focalware offers unrivaled accuracy and ease of use to photographers shooting outdoors. To say I use it a couple of times a day is an understatement!" --Moose Peterson, Wildlife Photographer "A very slick little app, and a landscape photographer's new best friend." --Scott Kelby, Editor of Photoshop User Magazine "As a nature photographer who spends much of my time photographing locations with no cell or wifi coverage, Focalware is essential to my ability to plot and plan for the sun and moon’s arrival and departure, no matter where I am." --Gary Hart, EloquentImages.com Rated one of the 10 most useful iPhone Apps for Photographers by Pop Photo.

An app to visualize the field of view for selected cameras and lenses and overlay it onto a map. In addition one can also visualize the depth of field. This can be useful when planning for example a landscape shot where you need to know if the lens you plan to choose will fit for the location. Another example could be an architectural shot where you need to check whether the lens will work with the given distance to the object. I contains the following features: - Store different cameras with different sensor sizes - Store different lenses with their parameters - Define up to two teleconverters - Define a photo shoot and save it with all parameters - Adjust aperture and focal length with sliders - Field of view as overlay on map - Depth of field as overlay on map - Hyperfocal distance overlayed on map - Blue and Golden hours as overlay on map - Calculation of blue hour, golden hour, sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset for given date - Prediction of sunrise and sunset quality based on weather forecast - Prediction of milky way core visibility and sky clarity based on weather forecast - Visualization of moon phase - Prediction of long exposure conditions based on weather forecast - Visualize the sun and moon path and current position using an AR view - Show a 24h weather forecast for the camera location incl. animated rain radar and satellite view overlay - Show weather warnings for the current camera location - Show live lightning strikes for the given area in combination with current weather radar overlay - Exposure calculator for calculating exposure times or iso when using an ND filter or change aperture or iso - Minimum distance to subject calculator with a given camera/lens combination - Show current location of the ISS and the path for the upcoming 45 minutes
