Shoot Legendary Photos – PhotoPills Review
I think this is the photo tip of the year!
‘PhotoPills’ – I just bought this app and cannot wait to use it – this is the best ever photo tool for landscape photographers. Actually, it would have saved HEAPS of time and driving while trying to plan the last super full moon…
Generally I leave it to the heavens – luck – trust the universe that I will be in the right place at the right time….lol… it does work…sometimes…maybe the universe sent me to this app so I can be more timely – lol.

You know what makes the difference between a good shot and a truly memorable shot is being able to design the image carefully before you press the shutter:
•Design: your next shot could be a full moon setting under a secret stone arch, a sunrise between two giant rocks located on a magic beach, a sunset over the main street in your hometown or a dramatic full moon appearing from behind a nearby hill.
•Plan: calculate, in seconds, the exact date and time the scene you’ve designed happens. WORK SMARTER!
•Shoot: just get out there, immerse yourself in the great outdoors and enjoy capturing unique moments.
