Vantage
Welcome.
A shoot planner for experienced landscape photographers. Vantage watches the weather at your saved spots and lets you know when conditions align.
No tutorials on photography — just better data for the call you already know how to make.
The verdict
For each location, Vantage gives one of four verdicts.
◎
Go
Conditions align — get out there.
◎
Worth a trip
Good potential — likely worth the drive.
◑
Marginal
Borderline — your call.
✕
Unlikely
Conditions don't favour the shot.
When forecast models disagree, Vantage holds back from a confident "Go" — honest about uncertainty.
Match the conditions to your shot
Pick a preset to tell Vantage what you're after. Each one scores conditions differently.
Fog & Mist
Soft, atmospheric
Soft Golden Light
Warm, calm skies
Storm / Drama
High contrast, mood
Woodland
Diffused, calm
Inversion
Cloud below summit
Custom
Define your own
The right preset means accurate verdicts — golden hour conditions are useless if you're after fog.
Save your spots. Plan the journey.
1. Drop a pin or use GPS to set a location.
2. Save it. Optionally group into folders.
3. Tap the bell to enable notifications. Pick your minimum tier and lead time.
4. When conditions hit, Vantage pings you — early enough to plan the drive.
5. Use Plan a trip on any saved location for drive time, prep, walk-in and alarm calculation.
Nothing happens unless you save something. Until then, Vantage is a quiet observer.
One last thing — get out anyway
Vantage is a planning aid, not a verdict. Some of the best photographs ever made happened in conditions a forecast would have called "average."
Don't let a Tier 3 or Tier 4 rating keep you home. Light changes by the minute. Fog forms where models miss it. A walk in flat grey can still find the frame.
You'll never regret going out, but you might regret staying in.

Cloud Inversion
This preset checks the atmospheric conditions that produce cloud inversions — low cloud layer, stable air, high pressure and moisture.
However, Vantage cannot assess elevation. Cloud inversion requires your shoot location to sit above the cloud layer. This is entirely dependent on local terrain and your elevation relative to the surrounding valley floor.
Always combine this forecast with your own knowledge of the landscape.
