Why This Window

High cloud across the sky to catch the last light (45% — your evening had 40). The lower sky stays open, so the sun can reach it from under the horizon. Light wind off the water (7 km/h — your evening had 5).

Give it a photo you love. It works out what the light and weather were doing the day you made it — where the sun was, what the sky looked like, or whether there was fog in the air.

Then you tell it which part you wanted. The fog. The color in the clouds. It looks for that and ignores the rest.

After that it watches the forecast. When a day gets close it tells you how close, how sure it is, and what could still go wrong.

Next Light is in private beta with a select group of photographers. We're looking for a few more.

Leave your email and we'll invite you as the circle widens.
