Answer
I use PhotoPills in two big ways: planning landscapes/long exposures and planning outdoor portraits for clients and family sessions.
For landscapes and long exposures, I rely on it to:
- Scout locations and compose shots in advance
- Track the sun, moon, and Milky Way for alignment
- Calculate long exposure times (using the built‑in timer pill)
For portraits, I use it to:
- See exactly where and when the best light will be (golden hour, backlight, rim light)
- Plan where to place my subjects relative to the sun
- Pre-visualize framing and background before the session so I show up fully prepared
Is there a specific type of photography you’re interested in using PhotoPills for?
