Photography is about capturing moments, but the best moments often depend on forces beyond our control: the weather. That perfect fog rolling through the valley, the dramatic storm clouds breaking at sunset, or the crystal-clear morning air that makes landscapes pop - these conditions make the difference between an ordinary photo and an extraordinary one.

I created PhotoWeather because I believe every photographer deserves to capture these perfect weather windows, not just stumble upon them by chance.

The Story Behind PhotoWeather

As a photographer, I’ve experienced the frustration of missing incredible conditions. You wake up to fog so thick you can barely see your hand in front of your face, only to realize this would have been perfect for that moody forest shot you’ve been planning. Or you arrive at your favorite sunset spot only to find a wall of gray clouds blocking any hope of golden light.

The traditional approach has been to check weather apps and hope for the best. But general weather forecasts aren’t designed for photographers. They don’t tell you when fog will be dense enough for dramatic effects, or when cloud coverage will create those perfect gaps for sunbeams.

That’s where PhotoWeather comes in.

What Makes PhotoWeather Different

PhotoWeather isn’t just another weather app - it’s a tool designed specifically for photographers who depend on weather conditions. Here’s what sets PhotoWeather apart:

Smart Rule Creation

Instead of manually checking weather conditions every day, you create rules that describe your perfect shooting conditions. Want to photograph fog in the early morning? Create a rule for visibility under 100 meters between 6-8 AM. Planning a sunset shoot that needs some clouds but not complete overcast? Set up a rule for 30-70% cloud coverage during golden hour.

The system monitors these conditions 24/7 and alerts you when they’re about to happen.

Location-Specific Forecasts

Weather can vary dramatically even within a few miles. PhotoWeather uses hyperlocal weather data to give you forecasts specific to your shooting locations. You might get an alert for fog at the coastal location while your mountain spot remains clear.

Calendar Integration

Never double-book over perfect conditions again. PhotoWeather integrates with your calendar, automatically adding potential shooting opportunities so you can plan around them. Your calendar becomes a visual forecast of when nature will be putting on a show.

What’s Coming Next

This is just the beginning. I’m working on features that will make PhotoWeather even more powerful for photographers:

  • Surrounding conditions: Monitor weather changes in nearby areas to find the best shooting locations when conditions aren’t perfect at your primary spot
  • Trend rules: Create rules based on changing conditions over time - like clearing storms, building fog, or improving visibility as weather systems move through
