Human Factors
Inadvertent TFR incursion: ZDVI was on a photo flight from ZZZ in CAVU (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited) conditions using visual navigation and maintaining situational awareness with the Foreflight moving map. Heading southbound over Granby; the Foreflight app froze and I was forced to reboot my iPad. When I restarted Foreflight a few minutes later; it immediately warned me of TFR entry for the firefighting TFR southwest of GNB. I executed an immediate 180 turn and exited the TFR to the north. The extent of incursion on the 190 heading was approximately 2-3 nm before turning northbound. I was aware of the existence of the TFR from my preflight planning and as shown on Foreflight's moving map in the cockpit; but the absence of any visual indication of smoke in the air and/or active fire on the ground; coupled with my distraction due to the temporary loss of Foreflight's moving map led to the incursion.
