Slow Shutter Cam – iPhoneography App – Updated
Slow Shutter Cam brings new life into your device’s photo toolbox by letting you capture a variety of amazing slow shutter speed effects that you only thought you could get with a DSLR.
How many times have you tried to capture artful images with your iPhone camera but were left wishing you had more features to work with? Slow Shutter Cam puts an end to mere snapshots and gives you some of the most powerful features of a DSLR camera. All this, in a package that fits in your pocket.
This app retails for $0.99/£0.69 and you can pick it up here.
Slow Shutter Cam offers three capture modes to capture unique images:
AUTOMATIC
Equivalent to the shutter priority mode on a DSLR, the Automatic mode is perfect for creating ghost images, waterfall effects or suggesting movement in your photographs by adding a blur. This mode also features automatic exposure compensation so that your pictures are always perfectly exposed, no matter the shutter speed selected.
MANUAL
In low light conditions, the Manual mode allows the camera to accumulate every photon of light hitting the sensor. The longer the shutter speed, the more light it will accumulate. You can even fine-tune the result using the exposure compensation slider to achieve the exact effect you want.
LIGHT TRAIL
The Light Trail mode allows you to ‘paint’ with light, show car light trails and fireworks or capture any other moving light in a unique way. Unlike shooting with a DSLR and being tied to specific rigid settings to obtain good results, the Light Trail mode takes care of the essentials, letting your creativity soar.
Highlights:
● Real time live preview ● Innovative ‘Freeze’ control ● Selectable shutter speeds ● Exposure compensation ● Tap to adjust exposure ● Exposure lock (from shot to shot) ● Handy Self-Timer
