NOT WORTH IT…

Don’t buy this “app” it is a ripoff it has 1 picture that you adjust… that’s it 1 picture. Once you’ve do it once that’s it. No new photos… just 1 pic.
Very very disappointing!!!! Sadly I had to give it a star to leave a comment otherwise I would have given it a minus score.
G🤬grrrrr 🤬

Sehr guter Simulator

Wer Probleme mit dem Zusammenspiel der Parameter Blende, Zeit, ISO und Brennweite hat ist mit diesem Programm gut gerüstet. Einziger Bachteil: Leider nur bis Brennweite 55 mm

Tolle Lernapp

Ich nutze die App schon seit einigen Jahren in Fotokursen. So lassen sich die Zusammenhänge zwischen den einzelnen Parametern Blende, Verschlusszeit und ISO-Empfindlichkeit und ihre Auswirkung auf Belichtung, Schärfentiefe, Bildschärfe, etc. sehr anschaulich erklären. Für den Einstieg in die technischen und gestalterischen Grundlagen der Fotografie bestens geeignet. Sowohl zum Selbstlernen, als auch für den Unterricht sehr zu empfehlen👍🏻

Not versatile

I was expecting various photo scenes to play with settings, especially with different times of day and night. This only has the one photo to try the settings on.
