ExposureCast

When it’s worth heading out to your spots.

Fog, fiery skies, the Milky Way. Days ahead, no account needed.

The ExposureCast feed “Chances”: today “Clear View” at 97 percent and “Full Moon” at 88 percent, each with its time window

4:30 a.m., the alarm goes off, and the valley stays grey. The next morning you sleep in, and that’s when it all comes together. ExposureCast shows you ahead of time which morning is likely worth it.

I’m a photographer myself and I know these situations. If you don’t want to leave the light to chance, you spend days studying the forecast, buy books about the weather and plan in lots of separate steps. That’s why I built ExposureCast: to make the whole process simpler.

Real weather

A straight answer on how sure it is.

Every chance is good, possible or weak. Where it can be put in numbers with confidence, you get a percentage. Where it can’t, the app tells you.

Rare combinations

When the stars align.

The Milky Way over ground fog, a fiery sky over snow, fog in the blue hour. When two things line up, the app calls it out.

Reminders

Time to pack your bag.

Ask for a reminder. A few hours before, the app checks the latest forecast again and adjusts the reminder or cancels it.

Cookbook

Your photo recipes, in your photo cookbook.

More than 15 phenomena come ready to go. When the shot you have in mind isn’t among them, write your own recipe from weather and sky values, and the app looks for the hours that fit. Soft overcast light without rain for macro. Low gusts and long views for the drone. A thin crescent moon low in the twilight.
