Determine When the “magic Hour” for Photography Is Coming With This App
When it comes to outdoor photography, there is definitely a lot to be said for taking this shot at the magic hour. However, figuring out when it is, especially when you are traveling, can sometimes be tricky.
Helios is a Magic Hour calculator for iPhone and iPad that lets you know when is the best time to go out with your camera.
There is a sun path diagram on the main screen of the app. Enter your location and the app will tell you the golden hour and blue hour every day, and when you can expect sunrise and sunset.
The $ 0.99 app also has a built-in exposure meter to help you tweak your camera settings. Push notifications will also remind you of the Golden Hour so you can go outside with your camera and get some work.
It’s definitely not an app for everyone, but if you’re just into photography or shooting in a new location, it can be a useful tool (literally) in your back pocket.
