ChaseLight: Shoot Planner

More photography opportunities. Less guesswork.

ChaseLight is a shoot-planning app built specifically for landscape and astrophotography - not a general weather app repurposed for photographers.

WHY CHASELIGHT
Generic weather apps tell you the temperature and chance of rain. ChaseLight tells you whether the light is going to be worth chasing — and now, whether you'll get there in time. Every upcoming sunrise, sunset, blue hour and moonrise is analysed using photography-specific criteria - cloud structure, fog likelihood, wind, and light timing - and distilled into a Shoot Score you can read in seconds.

HOW IT WORKS
• Next Chase & Upcoming Chases - see your best photography windows ranked and ready, not buried in a seven-day forecast.
• Shoot Score - a five-tier rating (Exceptional to Skip It) built from the conditions that actually affect a photograph, with the reasoning shown, not hidden.
• Golden & Blue Hour timeline - see exactly when the light changes shape and colour potential, with tide levels shown alongside for coastal shoots.
• Plan My Drive (Premium) - leave-by and arrive-by times built into every sunrise and sunset, so you know exactly when to go.
• Moon planning - a week of nights at a glance, with Stars and Moon scored separately so you know which one's worth staying up for.
• Scout - location details, access notes and an airport-proximity check for drone flights, so you're not improvising once you arrive.
• Save your spots - pick any date and every saved location re-scores instantly; Premium extends how far ahead you can plan.

FREE TO START
ChaseLight is free to use, with your next 5 sunrise/sunset events, next 3 moon/stars nights, 1 saved location and 3 saved chases included at no cost - and saved locations can be checked up to 2 days ahead. ChaseLight Premium (monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription) unlocks unlimited events, nights, saved locations and saved chases, the full 6-day planning window for saved locations, and Plan My Drive's leave/arrive times for every event.

WHAT CHASELIGHT DOESN'T DO
It doesn't promise a great photograph, a colourful sky, or a specific result. Conditions can shift after a forecast is made - that's true of any weather-based tool. What ChaseLight gives you is a photography-literate read on your odds, so you spend your mornings and evenings chasing the shoots most likely to be worth it.

BUILT BY A PHOTOGRAPHER
ChaseLight was built by a working landscape and event photographer who was tired of checking five different apps and still guessing. It's designed around one goal: fewer wasted sunrises, more shoots worth showing up for.

Download ChaseLight and stop guessing when to shoot.
