Start free, go Pro when you are ready
"The Chasing Light app in full and The Chase community, for less than a coffee a week. Start with a free account and upgrade when you are ready."
Chasing Light reads the aurora, the golden hour, the Milky Way and the next storm for wherever you are, and tells you when it is actually worth going out. I built it because I was sick of guessing. The forecasts are free with your account. The planner, the AR sky, the alerts and the camera settings are Chaser Pro. It is landing on iPhone soon, and your free account carries straight into it.
Hold your phone up and see where the Milky Way core, the planets and the meteor showers will sit, hours before they get there. Plan the alignment at home, then follow it in the field.
Our own colour model reads the cloud, the horizon and the light path and scores every sunrise and sunset this week, so you know which evening to drive for.
Live lightning, storm cells tracked near you, and a Chase Score built from the ingredients that actually matter. Play the last few hours and the next few to plan the intercept.
Tell it your camera and lens and it hands you aperture, shutter, ISO and white balance for the scene in front of you, with the focus and filter notes to go with it.

Tonight’s verdict for your spot, the aurora, the Milky Way, the golden hour and the storm, a glance away on your wrist. Add it to your watch face and Kp is there every time you check the time.
No purchase needed. Sign up and all of this is yours, on the website and in the app.

A fresh theme each month, the members vote, and the winner takes home a prize.

A professional Nikon photographer and official Nikon School lecturer, supported by Nikon Australia. For over a decade I have taught thousands of photographers in the field and online. The Chase is where I share what I am working on and learning, every single month.
"Every time I do a course with Josh I learn so many new techniques and tips. He knows his way around so many cameras and can show you quick ways to get the best from the camera. With an emphasis on composure, he has taken my photos to a new level, bringing amazing insight and interest to my end product. There are so many photos that I can can enlarge as incredible art pieces. Sharing his time around, everyone feels their needs have been taken care of. If you want a great instructor who is personable, easy to understand and imparts heaps of knowledge, do a course with Josh."
"If ever I see a Nikon course with Josh, I immediately book myself in. I cannot pick a favourite out of those I have done, because they are all my faves. Josh has a down to earth, relaxed style of teaching that actually brings impact to the course content. He teaches as a photographer speaking to fellow photographers. This in no way diminishes what he has to say, but because you feel as though you are part of something, the information being delivered stays with you. He is a master of composition and lighting, and dares to be different. His courses are fun, full of beautiful images, and packed with information about how to make amazing images of your own."
"I've done a couple of workshops with Josh now and I can't recommend him highly enough. The vibe is always chill and fun & you'll walk away with so many images and memories that you love. And also, if you're anything like me, you'll go home and book a few more workshops."
