"3D Sun, Moon, and Night Photography Planning for Outdoor Photographers" is a powerful tool called The Photographer's Ephemeris 3D (TPE 3D) designed specifically for outdoor and landscape photographers working in various terrains. This unique software provides a 3D map-centric approach to calculating the positioning of the Sun, Moon, and Milky Way, allowing users to visualize how light will interact with the land at any given location on Earth.

Publications such as OnLandscape Magazine have praised TPE 3D, stating that it accurately predicts the distribution of light in specific areas. Renowned photographer David Kingham also highly recommends this app as an indispensable planning resource. With TPE 3D, users can experience stunning simulations of sunrise, moonlight, and starlight against real topography for their planned photography locations.

Want to know when the Milky Way will align perfectly between two mountain peaks? Curious about the exact time in September when a valley will lose direct sunlight? TPE 3D allows you to witness the passage of time and observe light changes under clear skies hours, days, weeks, or even years ahead of your actual shoot.

Key features of TPE 3D include:

  • Easy navigation on 3D topographic maps
  • Continuous timeline displaying key rise, set, and transit events for the Sun, Moon, and Galactic Center
  • Efficient search function for finding locations by name or entering coordinates directly
  • Automated playback for real-time or accelerated simulation of light changes
  • Flying mode for quick scene exploration
  • Enhanced mode with maximum topography and shadow detail
  • Milky Way representation in Flying mode
  • High-resolution Milky Way and stars in Enhanced mode
  • Control over camera elevation, pitch, and bearing in the 3D model
  • Accurate rendering of Moon phases in the 3D scene
  • Zoom capability equivalent to a 35mm focal length in Enhanced mode
  • Daily and annual event lists
  • Shared location database with TPE
  • Navigation and Artificial Highlights lighting modes
  • Support for multiple map pins
  • User settings for scene complexity control

If you're passionate about capturing those unique moments in natural light photography that often go unnoticed by others, TPE 3D is an essential tool for your arsenal.
