Spent the afternoon exploring Gunnamatta Beach on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. No-one around for miles, other than a few fishermen and surfers in the distance.
Perfect conditions for some coastal photography!

Preventing Wasted Opportunities
This photo is one that came about thanks to advance research. More than three hours of research and another hour of field work went into that three second moment. Trip planning overall spanned more than eight hours of time. This was put in on the front end before we ever hit the road to DC. Time was spent looking for interesting DC photos, figuring out the locations of those photos, determining when to be at those locations, stringing that data together, and fitting all of that into a family-oriented trip. Upon arrival, additional time was spent to actually go and capture the images. (Please remember to always be open to spontaneous opportunities.)
A similar image to this one was found by searching through “interesting” photos of Washington DC on flickr. After that a great article by +Brandon Kopp about photographing the “Big 3″ was found (h... more »

"[I]n the past I’ve often made the mistake of planning my photo shoots to make sure I’m looking towards the sun. While this can work for silhouettes, more often than not it will also give you unwanted lens flare and very high contrast that can be difficult to manage..."

Here's a fun article answering the following hypothetical question:
"What is the longest possible sunset you can experience while driving, assuming we are obeying the speed limit and driving on paved roads?"
Take note of what is "not a sunset" - the sun dropping behind a mountain is not the same as sunset, a subtlety that sometimes catches people out.

Last light on Adobe Mesa, Castle Valley, Utah.

Another view of Parriott Mesa, Castle Valley UT.
This is the great sunset that never was - a layer of high cloud with a gap to the west. The late afternoon light lit the mesas beautifully, but then was blocked at the last minute by more clouds.
Ah well...

The La Sal Mountains and Adobe Mesa, Castle Valley, Utah.
Around 15 minutes before sunset, the sun has dropped too low to reach the front of the mesa, but still catches the snow-capped peaks of the La Sals.

Attention Android users: Google have released an update today for Google Play Services, which fixes a few bugs in the new Maps API used in TPE.
We've seen a few crash reports related to Out of Memory errors, which should, we hope, be fixed with this update.
Details here:

Moon Set Behind The Minarets...
What were your camera settings?
Back in the 35mm film days, each individual exposure was relatively expensive, and you had little feedback to go on while shooting, so you had to learn approximate settings for various situations, take a shot, and hope for the best when you received prints back, often days later. Since the light was often changing fast while you took the shots, good luck remembering the settings for any one of them, and learning from your experience. Of course you could take detailed notes, but that is inconvenient while you might only have 60 seconds of peak conditions.
With digital photography, that has all changed. Images are essentially free on a per-shot basis, you get immediate feedback on how successful your attempt was, and you have every imaginable detail available as you inspect your results later to lea... more »

We've posted a brief review of two new eBooks that are going to be of interest to landscape photographers, "The Golden Hours" by +Christopher O'Donnell and "Photographing Rocky Mountain National Park" by +Erik Stensland.

If you want to get a sense of how quickly the moon moves when viewed through a large telephoto lens, watch this. Oh, and there's some guy on a highline too ;)
Amazing video - delighted that TPE played a part in planning it all!

If you haven't checked out the tutorials already, they're a great way to learn how to get the most out the tool - and everything you'll learn about the desktop version applies equally to the mobile versions.

Well, the review process was shorter than expected (5 days), and so the TPE for iOS 2.3 update went live this afternoon.
In addition to iPhone 5 support, the new features include:
- New overlay map types: Open Street Map (global coverage) and Open Aerial (for US satellite coverage)
- Offline maps: overlay maps can be stored for use when you're out of coverage range
- Locations import/export: share your locations between devices and other programs that support KML or KMZ (such as TPE for Desktop)
As always, drop us a line if you have any questions, comments or problems!

Some interesting stats on the installed base of TPE for Android.
As of last week, 4.0.x overtook 2.3.x as the most popular +Android version for TPE users. Also, 4.1 overtook 2.2 in the past few days. I'm glad to see this happening as I'd feared it would take a lot longer to occur.
It seems that TPE users are early adopters - the percentage of users running 4.1 is over 10x the percentage for all photography apps!

TPE for iOS 2.2.2 update was released a couple of days ago - this update is a maintenance release including a few bug fixes and UI refinements. Please update to the latest version when you can!
