Nice. But don’t scroll down too far. The banner is small but the pics above show you exactly where it is.
Yeah I almost missed it myself.
“Tip: To improve sharpness use a tripod.”
That’s hilarious. It should be more like…
“MUST use a tripod, or else your pictures will look like crap!”
Which begs the question… If you’re going to carry a tripod, or even a GorillaPod (assuming you can find anyplace to put it), then why not carry an actual camera?
iPhoneographers
pffftt… An iPhoneographer is to photography what a ThumbJammer is to guitar playing.
While I’m picking on this poor little app, should I mention that their icon is just wrong. “SLOW” should be below the 1, not above the 250.
A small technical correction: This app does not control your iPhone camera’s shutter speed. It simulates a long exposure by blending frames from a captured video into a still photo. This is why the resulting image is so customizable.
complicated AF to get a free app.however, thanks to gary though for his walkthrough and telling us where to look.
