iPad app to show light direction in specific locations at a given time

A great iPad app that lets you select your location (by GPS or manual location finding) and will show you where the light is coming from at any part of the day or moon at night. This allows you to gauge whether a particular location is suitable for a shoot given the angles.

There is a similar app for the iPhone made by another company:

This website also has a Mac, Windows and Linux desktop version for you as well - nice

I use The Photographer's Ephemeris every time I go to image landscapes. It's an indispensible tool.

Also, yay for new sub-forum. Cheers Mike/Terry, and, Chris for suggesting. : D
