The critically acclaimed LightTrac app is now available for all Windows 8 PCs and tablets. The app, which has been available for Android and iOS for quite some time now, helps photographers and filmmakers plan their photo-shoot at the comfort of their home even before visiting an outdoor location. By allowing the user to visually track the elevation and angle of Sun at any time for any place, the user is able to get a sense of the direction and mood of the light at a certain time. This information is presented on top of a satellite map so users can visually explore the nature of light at various times. This saves the photographer from making a round trip to the photo location at the wrong time of day. LightTrac for Windows 8 is available for a 7-day free trial from the Windows store. The full version costs $4.99.

What is LightTrac?

LightTrac helps photographers and film makers plan their photo-shoot at the comfort of their home even before visiting an outdoor location. It can also help in selecting the optimal location for their photo-shoot by allowing them to explore various light conditions at any given day / location and helping them pick their most favorable time and place. 

Sun's angle at sunrise/sunset and its elevation during the day varies throughout the year and it differs from one place to another depending on the latitude. By allowing the user to visually track the elevation and angle of Sun at any time for any place, the user is able to get a sense of the direction and mood of the light at a certain time. This information is presented on top of a satellite map so users can visually explore the nature of light at various times. This saves the photographer from making a round trip to the photo location at the wrong time of day when the Sun is at a bad angle / elevation. Saves everyone time, money and helps everyone take the perfect shot.
