The California Photo Scout Premium application is the most convenient on-the-go field guide for travel photography in California. The large location database and easy way to access and navigate the articles, makes this app a fundamental necessity for travel photography.
Learn about secret photo locations in California and find out all the relevant information to make your photography experience a success. The app also helps you to find the best approach to well-known icons and established locations to set you apart from others.
Each article dissects a specific location and gives concrete advice to help you take the best photographs:
- Full description of each location, complete with sample pictures and helpful photography tips.
- GPS coordinates so you can take advantage of your iPhone’s routing capabilities.
- Description of the best time of year and day to visit the location.
- Expected length of your visit and cost.
Features include:
- An extensive interlinked article database that makes it easy to discover new places.
- A slideshow to randomly browse and find new places. Simply click on a picture you like, and the app takes you directly to the article, revealing the location and everything else you need to know.
- Bookmarks: Save locations to find them again easily.
- The Depth of Field calculator helps you determine the optimal camera settings required for tack sharp photographs.
- Map integration (simply tap the GPS coordinates).
- Links to online resources.
- Access to the entire database offline.
The application takes advantage of the iPhone/iPod’s advanced features and works completely offline. The entire database is contained within the application. This means you have full access to all the information even when traveling outside of your coverage area or with your iPod.
As a bonus feature, I will add new information and articles with each update. The value of the application will increase over time.
