Must-Have iPad App for Outdoor Photographers

Press Release
LightTrac is a must have tool for any outdoor photographer interested in knowing the best times to shoot their subjects outdoors. Whether you are a landscape photographer or wedding photographer or a nature photographer, use this to find out Sun’s elevation and direction over any outdoor subject at any time of day. Use it to scout for new locations ahead of time. Use this tool to be there at the right spot at the right time. Sun’s azimuth and elevation changes throughout the year depending on which hemisphere you are located, so this is useful even if you think you know your spots well.
This app also displays the different phases of the moon in the month and also the current phase of the moon. Sun, moon event times and position data are all calculated by the app and they are found to be very closer to the chart published by the United States Navy.
What’s New in Version 1.1:
+Minor bug fixes
+Added sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset indicators on the timeline.
+Added new button to reset to today’s date while changing the date.
The $3.99 LightTrac app is compatible with the iPad and requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later.
