Set yourself up for success with PhotoPills, weather apps and more!

About the event

When I ask photographers, they often say they have PhotoPills on their phone, but no idea how to use it to its full potential.

The same applies to weather apps, and if you are only relying on basic weather information you might as well be taking a stab in the dark every time you go out to shoot. Having a deeper understanding of local forecasts, cloud cover and lighting angles can often make or break your results while in the field. In this interactive online session, I’ll go through:

  • How to set up & use PhotoPills for landscape photography
  • How to set up & use PhotoPills for astrophotography
  • The best weather apps to use (anywhere in the world)
  • The best aurora apps and websites
  • Others apps and websites you should use regularly
  • How to work smarter, not harder in the field

You'll be able to take these new skills and knowledge and employ them in your photography workflow, exponentially improving your chances of success!

Note: The event will also be recorded and sent out to all attendees afterwards.
