Every recce,
a different light.

Sun path

Move the sun through the day.

Drag the sun along the line under the frame. Its path is drawn over the picture with each hour marked and golden hour in orange, and the light read changes as it goes. On the phone you turn to look round; here, drag the picture.

Know when it'll be backlit.

Every shot remembers which way the camera faced, so the app can tell you when it will be backlit, side lit or front lit, and the best time to be there. This is the plan and the day strip from a Detailed shot card.

Drag round the ring to turn the cameraDrag the strip for the time

Shooting vertical.

Tap ↻ Portrait for vertical work. The whole layout turns: the frame, the ratios for upright work (9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9), the lens and the shutter. Tap ↻ Landscape to go back.

The shot list, page by page.

Detailed opens with a plan for the day in the order the light comes round, gives each scene a page with its map and the sun, then a card per shot: the frame, the light, when to be there and room for notes. Summary is one line per shot. Photos only is just the frames.
