Most weather apps think you and your subject are the same point. They aren't. Where you stand and what you're aiming the camera at have different terrain horizons, and at golden hour the difference of a few hundred metres of ground is often the difference between standing in shade and standing in warm light.
The post walks through Inverza 1.4's two new related features: the Set Subject picker that lets you pair a saved spot with a separate subject pin up to 50 km away (with OpenStreetMap classifying the subject into one of 22 kinds: peak, glacier, alpine hut, lighthouse, lake, castle, and so on), and the Photographer/Subject toggle in the Horizon Paths chart that re-renders the terrain horizon and the sun's position from either vantage at the same minute.
The worked example is a real photograph at an alpine meadow: photographer at the meadow's edge in deep shadow, two wooden hay barns 400 m southwest still catching warm side-light from WNW, distant peaks beyond glowing under a dark cloudy sky. The Horizon Paths chart at the photograph's exact minute shows the sun sitting on the photographer's local terrain ridge while still hovering well above the subject's horizon. That 5-10 minute gap is the entire premise of the shot.
