>>3202125I love you too.
>>3202154Yeah there's a few apps I use I suppose. I've used a lightmeter app in a pinch but only a time or two as I really just use my m43 camera to meter more carefully. I use an app called vignette that lets me use the phone camera in 1:3 pano mode so I can walk around and find comps without holding a giant 6x17 to my eye. I've used The Photographers Ephemeris (the desktop version) to find where the sunrise and sunset light will hit. The most helpful app I use by far is Google Maps, mostly on terrain mode and occasionally on Satellite mode to find locations, elevation profiles, lakes, trails, and more. The Photographers Ephemeris isn't all the necessary once you know what angle the light will fall at a certain season/latitude anyway. And finally there's weather apps, though I'm a much bigger fan of the weather graphs provided by NOAA in the states as it's a lot more info in one screen and typically far more accurate.
>>3202109If you really want to save the best way would be to follow me on IG. I don't like to do sales all the time because I think it really cheapens the value of a product and makes people question what the "real" price is, but in the last 8 months of the book I've done two quick "sales", one upon introduction and one before the autumn. IG is where I would announce those deals. I honestly do think the book is worth $20 with the amount of labor, research and experience that went into it. The people that have purchased it also tend to agree. Ebooks are a fantastic medium, for example a couple years I bought one on Photographing Death Valley by Sarah Marino and Ron Coscarrosa and was blown away by the quality of the info within. Not only did it tell you the "hot spots" to shoot, but it also helped you grow your own vision and find new spots which I greatly respect the authors for doing. On top of that, it easily saved me $20 in wasting gas driving around the largest national park in the lower 48 states.
