What is The Photographer's Ephemeris?
The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) is a useful tool for landscape, outdoor, and travel photographers. It helps plan shoots around optimal sunlight and moonlight.
TPE shows a map with information about the position of the sun and moon at any date, time, and location. It provides the exact direction for golden hour light as well as rise, set, and transit times. You can see when and where sunlight or moonlight will hit a specific landmark or feature.
With TPE, photographers can plan what time to arrive at a location before sunset or stay until after sunrise. It assists in determining the perfect alignment of the moon behind a subject. The app accounts for elevation to show how terrain impacts lighting angles.
Key features include:
- Interactive map showing sun and moon positions
- Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset times
- Solar and lunar azimuth and altitude
- Elevation tracking for adjusting lighting angles
- Support pinning multiple locations
- Augmented reality view through device camera

The Photographer's Ephemeris is available as a mobile app and desktop program for Mac and Windows. It can be used completely offline in the field. The tool helps outdoor photographers carefully prepare to maximize lighting conditions for their shoots.
