Managed to get a sneaky little snowboarding session in at the Tamworth snow dome yesterday. Was up in Tam for a meeting so me and a few colleagues decided to make a quick dash across the road and get our skis on (well snowboard for me)
This weekend my mate James was able to take time out of his Navel photography course and come see me.
That morning James had been given [yes that's right...given] a new D3 as his kit camera (along with a impressive selection of lenses)
So, Friday night, with the weather staying fairly nice, we decided to have a play with the new camera and take some ‘sunset’ pictures. I took my D90 with it’s new optech grip along with my new 055XPROB tripod (which was excellent)!
Found this while browsing the web, thought I would post it here just to get the word out.
Indications of this issue include:

Landscape photographers typically wish to plan their shoots around the times of sunrise/sunset or twilight, or alternatively when the moon is in a particular place in a particular phase.
While times of sunrise etc. are readily available on various sites on the internet (direction of sunrise etc. less so, but still readily found), there are fewer programs available which combine such information with a topographical map allowing the photographer to match the astronomical to the location.
A typical use might be to determine when the sun will set along the axis of a mountain valley, or when a full moon rise will rise across a lake.
The application uses Google Maps providing users the ability to select a location and determine the time and azimuth of sunrise or sunset for a given date or dates.
You’ll need adobe air as well but a link for that can be found after the jump.
