Welcome to Episode 19 of PhotoPills Friday! If you want to photograph the sun or moon rising (or setting) from behind a mountain, how do you figure out WHEN that composition would be possible? Trial and error? Maybe. PhotoPills has a powerful feature that can help you figure that out in about 5 minutes, and I show you how to use it using a step-by-step example of photographing the sun rising behind one of my favorite mountains in New Hampshire. Enjoy!

That is a pretty-pretty good explanation; I have used photopills for a little more than one year and find it challenging to get the precise date. I live in Kyoto-Japan and I am excited about moon photography.

Terrific material. Just watched 2 seasons of Photopills. Highly impressed with your videos and the explanation in details that for sure has a lot of time in preparation. Keep up the good work, Brenda.

I recently bought my first real camera and have been teaching myself photography, in part using these video series. I'm in the Boston area and I spend every moment I can in the Whites, and so I found myself unreasonably excited to see maps of my beloved (yours too!) Franconia ridge and Mt. Lafayette, also one of my favorites. Thank you for your work.

I just got caught up on watching your Photopills series and I must tell you how much I appreciate it. I've had Photopills on my phone for a couple of years but got little benefit from it because I was intimidated by its complexity. But you have revealed its secrets in a way I hadn't found before. My favorite episode was #5 but they are all great. I love trying to align the full moon with various landmarks and that will now be MUCH easier and more accurate. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for your Photo Pills videos. I like Photo Pills but I am 70 yrs 0ld with minor loss of hearing. I have trouble understanding the moderator of their videos. You have been a great help! Thank you.

Hi Brenda, another awesome video and tutorial. I am not sure I would agree with you that this feature is "easy-peasy" but you certainly have provided a good tutorial on how to use it. A little practice on my part should help. ;-). Look forward to your Milky Way tutorials. I use Stellarium at the moment. I will be interested to see what PhotoPills can do. As a side note, I have used email notifications to learn when new videos are uploaded to KZfaq. To my surprise and disappointment, KZfaq has pulled this feature. Consequently, I have missed a lot of videos, including yours, that have been uploaded. Anyway, I will need to regularly check for new videos. Your channel will be at the top of my list. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been in the habit of using The Photographer’s Ephemeris for planning sun/moon rise/set shots aligned with a landscape feature. While viewing this tutorial I ran PhotoPills forecasts of full moon sets behind Mt Hood in the Cascade Range in Oregon, viewed from a vantage point I’ve often used. As I was working through my iterative procedure in TPE to determine the precise point on the mountain where the moon will set behind the mountain on the morning of 1 October my expectation was that PhotoPills would not be as accurate. As it turned out, TPE and PhotoPills agreed precisely, and PhotoPills achieved the result in one pass. They did differ by about 3 min in timing. The morning of 1 October the moon and the mountain will have their say. But for efficient workflow PhotoPills already has a leg up.

Hi Brenda, great tutorial as always. I have one question though. Don't you have to adjust the red pin by the altitude of the observation tower building seen on google earth or does it not matter to Photopills?

How easily is it to plan a moon-set like a Crescent Moon set? In the planner is it the moon that's half because it doesn't show a Crescent moon. Of course, that's coming up this week & I'm lost....
