FrameSeeker tells you where the light will be, so you can be there before it happens. Pick any spot on the map and stand in it. The viewfinder renders real terrain at a real focal length (16 mm to 800 mm, on your sensor) so you can see whether the ridge blocks the sunrise before you drive four hours to find out that it does. THE LIGHT • Sun, Moon and Milky Way positions for any place and any date • Golden hour, blue hour and the three twilights, on a timeline you can scrub • Rise and set solved against the actual horizon, not a flat one • Solar and lunar eclipses, rendered where they happen THE CAMERA • Field of view for any focal length and sensor, full frame to Micro Four Thirds • Depth of field and hyperfocal distance • Stand at eye level or on the summit — no clamped pitch, no clamped altitude THE MAP • 3D terrain from real elevation data, offline once downloaded • Photorealistic 3D tiles where you want detail (FrameSeeker Plus subscription) • Region packs, so a valley in the Dolomites works without signal THE PEOPLE • Share the frames you make, pinned to where you stood • See what others shot nearby, and in what light • Hold a place with your best-liked photograph there • Public or private, per photograph, always your choice Your photographs carry their coordinates. FrameSeeker shows you that, and lets you keep any of them to yourself. FRAMESEEKER PLUS SUBSCRIPTION FrameSeeker Plus is an auto-renewable subscription: $2.99 per month.
