Passport

Every spot you shoot, stamped.

Check in when you get to a spot and it goes in your passport, inked in the light you shot it in. Every city and country fills in on your map, with the miles between them.

Golden hour and blue hour

Be there when the light is.

Plan a trip and pick the light you want at each stop, from morning blue hour to sunset. PhotoScout shows the local times and when you'll arrive, so you're there for the shot.

PhotoScout local light times for a stop: morning blue hour, morning golden hour, sunrise, evening golden hour, sunset and evening blue hour

Sun direction

Know where the sun will be.

Every spot shows where the sun sits at golden hour: a ring around its pin, with the direction on the golden hour card. Drag a sun along the ring to see when it's there, and know which way to point the car before you go.
