Quoting Matthew Hunt <[email protected]>:
In case you're looking for a photography tool that's easier on the
wallet than a full-frame camera or D-FA* 70-200/2.8...
Google Earth Pro, the version of Google Earth that used to cost
$399/year, is now free. I've used the regular free Google Earth
frequently to plan landscape shots, but the Pro version adds several
additional features. Notably for photographers, it can simulate
sunlight falling on the terrain at any time of day (there's a button
with a sunset icon in the toolbar). This is probably most useful if
you've lowered yourself near ground level.
To get it, go here:

And after you install and run it, sign in using your email address and
the License Key: GEPFREE
Summary of Google Earth Pro vs. "free" (i.e. non-Pro):

I noticed this on Peta Pixel (I think) a couple of days ago so I
installed it. I thought you still needed to apply for a licence key
(even though there was no charge) - didn't know about the GEPFREE key.
I'm still trying to work out how it can be useful but your sunlight
direction sounds promising.
