    Photographer’s/Real Estate must have

    You would not think this powerful tool inside your pocket/cell phone could be so useful, but it truly is. As a professional photographer/videographer, I use it all the time to find The lighting I want for my shop. Especially on low budget shoots where they do not want to pay for my time to scout the location in advance, I can still know when to show up for the best lighting. As a REALTOR®,Many of my clients are seeking homes that face a particular direction. Sun Seeker absolutely helps with that. From inside a location I can tell clients where to look for the sun from any point in the house at any time of the year. Want to know if your rear deck will be too hot to eat at the height of summer?, I can tell you that. Want to know the best place to plant your garden? No problem. Want to know if a building is going to block the sun from you next December when the sun is lower on the horizon? No problem. Sunseeker is my go to application for this and so much more. I highly recommend it.

    Answer to a photographer’s prayers

    I was looking for something which would tel me where the sun rises at any given place on any given day and I almost couldn’t believe that I found it in this app I first though it was a simple time of sunrise and sunset app like so many others but when I dove into it I realized that it would tell me sunrise locations and angle from your location and a lot of other stuff from any place on the globe The technology alone is fascinating but the ability to know where the sun rises on any day from any location is like gold to a photographer Thanks for the answer to my needs I will be putting this app to full use and saving a lot of time searching out locations by trial and error This app puts an end to that

    If your a photographer just get it!

    I have been using this app for years. It has save me days worth of work, trying to figure out when and where the sun will be.. the real world of you along with the sun charts allows you to know what time and where to be to put the sun behind a tree a building whatever your environment. Specifically for things like sunrise that you can’t see the trajectory of the sun until it’s already up, knowing the precise place where it will be coming from is an invaluable tool. I have recommended this app to anybody who is an environmental photographer even if it is not your main thing having access to this information, will save you an immense amount of time, just get it, seriously.
