What kind of Apps do you use when shooting outdoor ?

Hi all,


Just wondering if and what apps you all are using when shooting outdoor ?


My phone is a HTC Desire, running on android and I have installed the following Apps :

• Timelapse from Explorer DC. I use this to calculate the frames I need and interval when shooting time lapse movies,
• Canon lenses, A reference database with all the Canon lenses available. for those lonely moments in bed [:D]
• DoF Calculator by Jesper Svensson ( JDS ). Like the name says, this one I use when calculating the Depth of Field. ( use it since I have the 70-200 2.8L )
• Sun Surveyor Lite by Adam Ratana, this shows in a very nice way were the sun is in a compass kind of way, and what time the sunrise and sunset is.

What are you using ?

I have that, but it's not the full version. It's the lite one, v.7D or something like that. It still wasn't free, though...

PhotoTools. It's a plethora of different utilities for the photographer.. Also for Android.

Magic Lantern. It

My contract will be up in a couple of weeks and I am also planning on a smart phone---On thing I do use a lot on my computer that would be nice on a phone is one of the apps that show direction and times of moonrise, moonset, sunrise and sunset in relation to your planned shooting location----very handy, the compas would be handy as well as a depth of field calculator--but it looks like you already have some of this covered. I would also like to keep my owners manuals on the phone---this should be easy since they are PDF but I won

Seriously, there

@Sean, Maverick sounds like a great idea and very useful.


Thanks

To anyone still following this thread, I ran across an android app that I thought might be useful to some---Itsa DSLR controller and you can check it out ]here. Looksvery useful to me, but you have to have the right phone, unfortunately I do not. If you decide your interested, look at the website before you buy. your phone has to meet some requirements that only the newest high phones are likely to have. Things like USB host Controller, dual core processors, Android 2.3.3 etc.


on several occasions I have found myself needing something like this where a laptop was just too bulky or inconvenient.

Thnx

Darkness- sunrise and moonrise times; local times in multiple cities/locations. helpful on a southwest roadtrip as certain areas of Arizona are different.


Focalware- shows sun path in sky and where sunset will be. same for moon.


these are of course designed with landscape photography in mind. Enjoy. -Erno

Belger,Not sure which one you are talking about. I am really impressed with Three of them:


This one is a DSLR controller, but I can't run it on my phone because it's not campatable, but looks really handy and useful: DSLR Controller


and here is one that I do use and really like for judging light angles from sun and moon: Sun Surveyer


And one more that I really like for depth of field calculations etc: Photo Tools


Hope this helps,


Bob

Hi Bob,


thnx, Sun Surveyer is really great ! I had this already installed.


The DSLR controller looks great, but I would like to test it first before buying it.


I recently installed EOS Utility to my netbook, for remote capture, works also great but I found that it had not that many features. I was expecting that you could also programm the camera ( for example, Interval, timer, etcetc ) But this is not possible.


Again thnx
