About ShotScout

Built for photographers who are tired of checking five different apps before deciding whether a shoot is worth the drive.

What ShotScout does

ShotScout scores weather, astronomy, tides, and terrain against your saved locations and tells you one thing: is it worth going? Not a forecast — a recommendation, built from the same conditions a landscape or night photographer actually checks before heading out.

Why it exists

I kept doing this manually — cross-referencing cloud cover, moon phase, tide tables, and elevation data against a shortlist of locations — before every shoot. ShotScout automates that check so the decision takes seconds instead of five browser tabs.

Who's behind it

ShotScout is built and run by Robert Bridgewater. If you have questions, feedback, or find something broken, reach out at support@shotscout.photo.
