I've discovered an on-line sun position calculator that is a great alternative to SunPath if you don't already own that program. It can be found at Isitinthecan.com.
I corresponded with Mike Brackenridge, the designer of the site. He's obviously worked hard to create a well designed tool.
The displays are both thorough and clear. The site is fast with a clean user interface. The printouts (below) are as good as anything else on the market.
There are lots of locations available whose calculations are absolutely free. However, for $18.00 For A Year subscription, you get full use of the site. That fee gets you the printer friendly output you see above as well as an extensive database of locations. I consider this an extremely reasonable price. For a professional cinematographer, this is nothing less than a service to the industry.
