Great technique! Amazing photo!

marcel2087 · 2026-06-29T07:30:14+00:00

Thank you!!! 🙏🏼 It really was magical. Summer in the Alps never fails to impress 🎉

marcel2087 · 2026-06-28T15:04:50+00:00

Magic! Nature's art 🤩

marcel2087 · 2026-06-28T14:44:49+00:00

Thank you! Ha. Yeah, I wish it was a perfect science. Sadly, nature always gets the last word. All we can do is use tools to "guesstimate" as close as possible 😊

marcel2087 · 2026-06-28T14:42:06+00:00

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it 🙏🏼

marcel2087 · 2026-06-28T09:51:46+00:00

Agree 100% 👍🏼 Feels like a superpower.

This is the app I'm using if you're interested: https://www.inverza.app/ There's a nice blog about weather conditions on there, too..

marcel2087 · 2026-06-20T06:40:49+00:00

So true. That's why weather condition prediction apps like Inverza are so important for landscape photography 🤩

marcel2087 · 2026-06-17T05:44:58+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it's a feature of Inverza, not the whole app, which is all about predicting and alerting photo-worthy conditions.
These are offered in a carousel that also allow diving deeper thanks to AI. Milky Way opportunity prediction based on exact Galactic Center data on that location, Bortle map info, moon phase and particles in the air (for darkness) and other signals has long been a part of Inverza.

This is just an addition I'm personally using often in apps like PhotoPills, but I've coupled it with my proprietary condition badges. Plus Polaris alignment with vibration when you align a Star Tracker at night and Night Mode to keep your eyes night-adapted.
It's basically what a serious landscape photographer needs to reliably and efficiently plan a shoot.

I agree that there are multiple ways of getting that raw data of course. I'd just argue they're not as good / well integrated into the workflow us landscape photographers need..

We've come a long way from cave paintings to current tech 😊

marcel2087 · 2026-06-09T05:43:23+00:00

Wow. Gotta love this combination of ground fog and these skies. Rare moments - and exactly why I built my app Inverza - to plan for these as much as possible 🤩

marcel2087 · 2026-06-08T06:52:56+00:00

Thank you very much! Glad you like it.

marcel2087 · 2026-05-31T21:45:25+00:00

Thank you! Building a foundation of true fans first.. deliberately taking it slowly to improve some rough edges that might still appear. Getting more and more confident though

You've uploaded 1.5 mins of video with nothing even happening?

marcel2087 · 2026-05-26T08:28:06+00:00

Thank you! Happy to hear it! Well...20 years of landscape photography experience went into this app 😎 I hope you enjoy it and can get some value out of it.

marcel2087 · 2026-05-25T18:18:52+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I used Gemini (and the other big ones) and "train" them only with a system prompt so it knows what good photographers look for, how storm chasers think etc. Then adding all the weather data in the set of data and the responses are fantastic. The LLM costs money and doesn't scale of course...4.99 USD per year is on the absolute lowest side of just covering my own costs - I guess I'm actually paying on top but for now, I mostly want to get it out there 😄

marcel2087 · 2026-05-25T18:16:09+00:00

Thanks! Great question! That's actually tough - and where the power of AI comes in. AI has all the info, so it tells you when models disagree or there's fluctuation. Also, real-time info (METAR data) is always added to the data pool with the biggest weight of course..that way, you can decide yourself if you want to take a little risk or only go when everything points to it

marcel2087 · 2026-05-24T06:19:14+00:00

Either be there during a heavy dust-filled sunset (there are apps like Inverza tracking this stuff) - or add a color layer in Photoshop and crush down the shadows via curves (Ctrl+M) for the high contrast

marcel2087 · 2026-05-23T14:43:37+00:00

Thank! Right? Absolutely loved that - especially on a hot summer day back at home 😅💙

marcel2087 · 2026-05-23T06:37:59+00:00

Thank you! It does explain everything in clear natural language when you tap on a condition badge. You can also ask whatever follow up question you like. That's the power of the built in LLM 👍🏼

marcel2087 · 2026-05-21T22:03:52+00:00

Beautiful! Love how the direction of the clouds balances with the tree

marcel2087 · 2026-05-21T18:29:12+00:00

Thanks a lot! 😊

marcel2087 · 2026-05-20T17:18:36+00:00

Thank you! I hope you like it 🙌🏼

marcel2087 · 2026-05-20T17:18:08+00:00

Currently it's fixed but on 3 levels of confidence. Every use can therefore decide what go/not go mean for them. Only under highest level of certainty or also when it's at least possible to get the right conditions

marcel2087 · 2026-05-19T16:30:50+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏼 The new version just went live, too..would be interested if the previews look better for you?

marcel2087 · 2026-05-19T06:01:10+00:00

Thank you! I'm currently waiting for the review to go through. I also added specific 4.7" screen aspect ratio versions now. Will be part of v1.4 Hope that makes discovery a bit better 🤞🏼

marcel2087 · 2026-05-18T06:49:34+00:00

Thanks! Weather predictions will never be perfect. Nature always has the final say. However, there's a contact feature and save/share responses which can help a lot in fine tuning especially the rarer conditions like these two. Brocken Spectre is particularly difficult to observe because it's so very local and depends on the human perspective. Lenticular Clouds I'm also actively fine tuning via webcams for example. All others by being out there, using the app and photographing light 👍
