A documentary photography light planning tool. Enter any city to get golden hour times, shadow quality, shooting conditions and analog film recommendations for your natural light shoot.
BYgo (Before You Go) is a free tool for photographers who take their time with things. The kind who return to the same street for months, or cross half a continent for the right morning. Search any city in the world. You will get golden hour and blue hour times, a proper assessment of whether the conditions are worth your trouble, shadow quality, analog film recommendations matched to what the sky is actually doing, camera settings by lens type, and a breakdown of which months have historically been the most cooperative in that particular corner of the world. Most tools will tell you when the sun comes up. BYgo tells you what to do about it.
Built by Taushik Mandal, documentary photographer. Barcelona.
