CONGRATULATIONS on this extraordinary product! As a fellow photographer who lives in the Boston area, I often know I've missed opportunities for lack of information. I CANNOT wait to test this out. Thank you for coming up with this. Wishing you continued success and happy shooting!
This is so much better than using Alpenglow or SunsetWX. Keep up the great work!! Set up a crowdfunding if needed — I'll tell some people to pitch in.
Very cool app! thank you, I'll definitely be saving that to my night sky list of tools. This will be helpful when we are chasing the auroras too for night clarity.
Hi Megan, thank you so much for your Photo Forecaster! It's an incredible tool — did you develop it all by yourself? Not only is it a great idea, but it's also been implemented brilliantly. It even includes a forecast for my small town in northern Germany. And it's free and doesn't require an account — truly unbelievable!
Wow this is super cool actually. I love the idea of "rating the weather" and getting a report based on my photo goals."
Via PetaPixel, I just learned about your wonderful LightCast Suite App. GREAT idea, and one that I suspect many other photographers will come to appreciate the value of.
As someone who does a lot of sunrise and sunset photography and uses multiple apps to guesstimate the conditions, this looks really, really good. Thanks for making it!
First of all, congratulations! Your LightCast website is absolutely phenomenal! I'm sure I'll find SO many opportunities to get the 'best light' with the information the site develops in a fraction of a second!
As a former photographer, I'm gonna pass this onto many of my photographer friends as an additional tool to the ones we already use. Great ideas.
Incredible craftsmanship you've applied to help photographers! Great Work!
I just read a PetaPixel article about you and your LightCast photography tool. I've only had a quick glance at it but it looks FABULOUS! Thanks for taking the time to create such a helpful tool and thanks for making it available to the general public.
The idea behind LightCast Suite fills a real need in the photography community. It doesn't replace experience or instinct, but it gives a significant advantage in programming. For those who travel or take the time to get to a location, a tool like this can make the difference between a wasted day and a great shot. Looking forward to the app. I wish you well.
Love the website design!
I enjoy your app; it helps a lot.
I prefer your app's information over Photopills. Your information is more user friendly.
