What is The Photographer's Ephemeris FOR MAC?

The Photographer's Ephemeris

The Photographer's Ephemeris is a fantastic tool for landscape photographers who want to plan their photo shoots around the perfect lighting. Think about it: capturing that stunning sunrise or sunset, or even planning around the moon's position can make a huge difference in your shots!

Planning Your Shoots

When you're out there with your camera, timing is everything. Many photographers want to know when the sun will rise or set, and what phase the moon is in. While you can find sunrise and sunset times on various websites, finding a program that combines this info with a topographical map is pretty rare. That's where The Photographer's Ephemeris comes in! It helps you match astronomical events with specific locations.

Using The Photographer's Ephemeris

A great example of how to use this software is determining when the sun sets along a mountain valley or when the full moon rises over a lake. This way, you can get those breathtaking shots just right!

Keyboard Shortcuts for Easy Navigation

To make your life easier while using The Photographer's Ephemeris, there are some handy keyboard shortcuts:

• E: Show the Ephemeris screen.


• L: Jump to Locations.


• P or -: Go to the previous day.


• N or =: Move to the next day.


• T: Toggle twilight information (this feature is new in Beta 0.7.4).


• D: Display details for the selected date (new in Beta 0.8.0).


• C and Shift-C: Center your marker on the current map display.


• Shift + hold down this key: Extend azimuth lines through your marker location for precise alignment with landmarks and shooting spots.

This last function is super useful but only works if you're zoomed in enough; otherwise, it might not give accurate results!
