miccullen Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Photographer's tool for the mobile phone G'day all, I'm looking for some software for the phone that will help with sunrises/sunsets/moon, etc in remote locations, and in the future, so I can plan shoots. The two I'm looking at are: The Photographer's Ephemeris and Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon) (They're links to the android store, but they're available on both platforms, I believe.) They're both cheap, so that's not an issue. Has anyone used both, and has a recommendation and/or comments? (Or recommendations for any others?) (Yes, I searched but didn't find much n the way of head-to-head comparisons. Happy to have links if anyone's got them, though.) Thanks. Dec 28, 2012 at 06:05 AM

Paulthelefty Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Photographer's tool for the mobile phone I have used TPE on my PC and I really like it. It is (was?) free for the PC version so you could try it out. Never heard of the other... But that doesn't mean good or bad... Paul Dec 28, 2012 at 02:30 PM

miccullen Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Photographer's tool for the mobile phone Thanks guys. Looking at Sunphos now. Yeah, I've got TPE on the PC as well, and it's good. I'm really surprised at how little information there is around on something like this. Dec 28, 2012 at 06:26 PM

ACNYPhoto Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Photographer's tool for the mobile phone I have both TPE and Sun Surveyor (had sun surveyor on my droid) I find Sun Surveyor to be the better app... I watched patiently when I switched from a Droid to an iPhone for the Sun Surveyor app and jumped on it as soon as it came out... Dec 30, 2012 at 03:36 AM

Mike K Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Photographer's tool for the mobile phone I have been using TPE for some time now and consider it essential in planning landscape shoots. I have use it to time and accurately (within 100 ft placement and within the minute) predict the alignment of shots such as this lunar eclipse. However there is one major limitation to this app: you need a phone signal to download google maps. In the outback, many locations are quite remote, without a cell phone tower within several mountain ranges. This encourages careful planning locations and timings before setting out. I wish TPE could be updated with tide tables and weather links! Mike K Jan 01, 2013 at 08:43 PM
