So, I downloaded a new application, because it was just so cool. The Photographer’s Ephemeris, an application which runs on Adobe’s “Air” platform, will tell you when the sun and moon rise and set, and where they’ll be in the sky, anywhere in the world. Behold!
 |
| Winter in Glasgow: the sun never visits the rear of our house, only staying up for 90° of 360°, giving us about 7.5 hours of weak daylight. The yellow line is sunrise, the orange line, sunset. |
 |
| Summer in Glasgow: the sun comes up and floods our bedroom, then goes down … 270° around the sky, giving us about 7.5 hours of “night.” Again, the yellow line is sunrise, the orange, sunset. |
For those of you who haven’t visited (and why not?! Hmm?!), this place is crazy and crazy.
I plan to spend some time, now, tinkering with the application to see just when the moon will be ideally situated for some good photos of it. Hopefully the camera will be back from the shop soon, so that I can take some good pictures when some more friends visit next week.
-D
very cool about your new application.
