“Head and shoulders above the crowd is The Photographer’s Ephemeris. Odd name, great app.”
“One of the most useful apps for any nature photographer.”
The Photographer’s Ephemeris is especially designed for photographers working with natural light. If you’re shooting landscape, wildlife, architecture, real estate, weddings, or natural light portraits, TPE will tell you everything you need to know about sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.
Planning night photography? TPE has what you need: rise and set of the Galactic Center, a 3D visualization of the band of the Milky Way, meteor showers, and more. Our iOS app includes major stars, asterisms, and lunar eclipses, so you can plan the perfect ‘blood supermoon’ shot.
When 2D isn’t enough, TPE includes 3D maps and AR to help you visualize and plan more effectively. Evaluate the angle of light or the position of the Sun, Moon, or Milky Way using our advanced tools.
In this second post about architectural photography, we’ll discuss equipment selection (cameras, lenses, tripods, and tripod heads) and some of the implications of the gear you have on hand, particularly in post-processing.

When planning a night photography or astrophotography shoot, the weather is a critical factor. It’s not just the obvious factors, such as the absence of rain and clouds, but many other factors that conspire to create or prevent great conditions.
Seeing and Transparency, along with light pollution and smoke, are two of the most important considerations for astrophotographers in determining where and when to plan a shoot. We’re pleased to be offering new Seeing and Transparency forecasts with Photo WX, our weather service for photographers.
We’re approaching the 12-month countdown to the 2026 total solar eclipse, which most viewers will see from either Iceland or Spain. It’s always interesting to ask, “ What if we had the same weather on eclipse day as we’re seeing this year? ”
With April 8 fast approaching, levels of interest in the last total solar eclipse to cross North America in the next 20 years are skyrocketing. There’s a lot of terminology that gets bandied around relating to eclipses, so here’s our guide to some of the main terms you’ll likely encounter.
