Description

Landscape Photography Helper Pro helps photographers understand and anticipate the alignment of time, light, and celestial motion behind great landscape images. The real challenge is rarely pressing the shutter—it’s being in the right place, at the right time, facing the right direction. Landscape Photography Helper Pro is a powerful photography planning tool that allows you to evaluate light and celestial conditions before heading out, so every shoot begins with clarity rather than guesswork. You can use the timeline to preview the positions of the sun, moon, and Milky Way throughout the day. The 3D compass visualizes their direction and altitude in space, making light behavior intuitive instead of abstract data. With AR mode, you can preview the future positions of celestial objects directly in your real environment and understand how they align with terrain and surroundings. The app also displays important astronomical events such as sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, and twilight, and allows you to add key moments to your system calendar for reminders. The app provides an unlimited timeline, allowing you to predict celestial positions at any date and time. Advanced planning tools include star trail simulation, virtual viewfinder preview, sun and moon search, mountain identification, and comet position prediction. Comprehensive map planning tools allow you to evaluate shooting conditions at any location. You can view light pollution maps, weather forecasts, and save or reload shooting locations for future planning. Landscape Photography Helper Pro also includes a professional-grade 3D VR terrain prediction system. Built on real elevation data and independent of on-site sensors, it provides stable and repeatable predictions anywhere. You can simulate terrain occlusion, celestial paths, and real camera fields of view before arriving on location, helping you finalize compositions in advance. The app also supports drone composition simulation within the same real 3D terrain environment. You can simulate drone flight altitude and lens perspective before takeoff to verify whether an aerial composition works. The system displays real AGL (Above Ground Level) altitude and horizontal distance to your intended composition point, helping you evaluate height constraints and flight feasibility during the planning stage. This feature assists with composition planning only and does not determine airspace legality or restricted flight zones. An integrated drone database includes common consumer models and camera parameters, allowing simulations to more closely reflect real-world equipment performance. The latest version also introduces building alignment planning. Built-in architectural models can be placed anywhere on the map, scaled to real dimensions, and rotated to match their real orientation. This allows you to plan precise alignments between celestial objects and buildings directly inside VR and drone simulation scenes. You can also import custom .obj 3D models, allowing you to add your own landmarks and use them in planning scenes alongside built-in models. Landscape Photography Helper Pro is not just a tool for viewing information—it is a tool for making decisions. It helps you feel confident before shooting, calm on location, and efficient in creation. Let great photographs be the result of preparation, not chance.

Build 886973005v8.5.02026-06-15 12:08:39
1. Added the Official Model Library. With a subscription, you can use officially placed building models in VR and drone simulation for alignment, composition, and shot planning. 2. Added zoom and exposure compensation sliders to the variable-zoom AR page for more flexible framing and previewing. 3. Added a zoom slider to the map page for easier view adjustment. 4. Added support for receiving shooting plans and model instances from Landscape Helper for Mac. The Mac app is sold separately and may become available after review; it makes desktop planning easier and lets you sync plans and placed model instances to iOS quickly by scanning a QR code.
Build 886043199v8.0.02026-05-23 17:07:57
1. Variable-zoom AR support AR now supports smooth, continuous zoom. You can frame and predict at any focal length supported by your device, making it easier to judge the positions of the Sun, Moon, Milky Way, and other targets with greater precision and in a way that better matches your real shooting composition. 2. Apple Watch support Landscape Photography Helper Pro now supports Apple Watch, giving you a lighter and faster way to check key information in the field. The Apple Watch version currently includes three pages: 2D Compass View the real-time directions of the Sun, Moon, and Galactic Center on your watch, along with today's sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset directions. The 2D Compass on Apple Watch can also guide you to the shooting position currently set on your iPhone, making outdoor scouting and on-site adjustments easier. Today's Special Moments Quickly check the start times of important special moments for the day, helping you stay on top of key shooting windows. Today's Moon Phase Check the current moon phase without opening the main app, useful for Moon, Milky Way, and nightscape photography. Apple Watch support is designed to help you access key information quickly on location, as a companion experience to the main iPhone / iPad app. For complete shooting plans, precise predictions, and complex scene planning, we still recommend using the main app. 3. Experience improvements and bug fixes Improved parts of the user experience and fixed several known issues.
