I stumbled across this really cool application the other week and thought I would share it with you along with another iPhone app I use frequently.

The application I found is called ‘The Photographer’s Ephemeris‘. It has a few features but for me by far the best of these is the map showing sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset angles and times. There’s an iPhone version coming soon which will suite me better, I can’t wait. Check it out, plug in the location you plan to shoot and you can easily figure out if you are best to shoot it at sunset or sunrise. It’s also good if you want to figure those really complicated shots where a full moon hovers above the Opera House or Twelve Apostles.

Looks like October will be a good time to shoot a full moon behind the Apostles

Another tool I use a fair bit is ‘PhotoBuddy‘ for the iPhone. It’s really handy for finding out the sunrise and sunset times at your current location (requires 3G iPhone). I also use it to see when the next full moon is. It has loads of other features most of which I never use or don’t really understand…check it out if you have an iPhone.

I’ve been taking some photos and processing them exclusively using my iPhone. There are a couple of great apps for processing which I use in combination to get the desired results, Best Camera by Chase Jarvis and PS Mobile. Here are some shots taken over the holidays, enjoy!
