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. 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, mapped against real-time conditions. • Moon planning - track moon phase, rise/set, and the best shooting window for moonlit landscapes and night sky work, scored separately from daylight conditions. • Scout - location details, access notes and an airport-proximity check for drone flights, so you're not improvising once you arrive. • Save your spots - keep your best locations on hand and get matched against upcoming conditions automatically.

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. ChaseLight Premium (monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription) unlocks unlimited events, nights, saved locations and saved chases.

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.
