CameraPixels is a unique manual photography app. The premium tools and intuitive UI make CameraPixels the best choice for professional mobile photographers. CameraPixels participated in Berkley Eclipse Megamovie 2017 thanks to its extensive raw bracketing. All-in-one ============= CameraPixels is all-in-one capture solution, that supports multiple photo and video capture modes. Among them are Bracketing, Slow Shutter and Time-lapse modes. CameraPixels has the most advanced bracketing available on the iOS platform, which includes exposure and focus bracketing. Best for macro photography ============= With CameraPixels you can capture the best macro shots, be it a single image or a series of images, called focus bracketing, which can later be combined into one all-in-focus photo (requires external app for focus stacking). If you have an external macro lens, let CameraPixels save its name to the EXIF data for you, so later you can always remember which lens was used. Currently CameraPixels supports Olloclip™, Loupe System™ and Moment™ lenses. Best for professional HDR photography ============= CameraPixels has the most advanced exposure bracketing on iOS. With up to 15 images per bracket you can capture even the most difficult lighting situations. CameraPixels support auto-, iso and shutter-brackets, with an optional flash frame. The captured images can be used to create stunning HDR photos using your favorite professional HDR software. Intuitive UI ============= CameraPixels has a simple and efficient UI. The most important information is always in front of your eyes, and this allows you to avoid surprises like an unexpected flash fire or the wrong output photo or video format. Stop being distracted by the uncertainty of the settings, concentrate on your capture! ISO/Shutter priority modes ============= CameraPixels is among a few photography apps that support advanced exposure modes like ISO and Shutter priority. These modes are indispensable during dynamic photography when there is no time for adjusting manual exposure. Histogram and clipping warnings ============= The histogram is a great tool to estimate your exposure. It can show you if the photo has under-exposed or over-exposed areas. Clipping warnings, on the other hand, can show you exactly where those under and over-exposed areas in your photo are. Depth capture ============= On dual/triple-camera devices, CameraPixels can capture depth information alongside the colour photo. If the photo has depth information, in the preview window, two additional buttons appear (depth and portrait) that allow you to inspect the depth of the image and apply it to simulate an aperture. Presets ============= CameraPixels was designed for professional photographers that value efficiency of their workflow. The unlimited presets, including the possibility to expose them to Widget make CameraPixels the ultimate photography tool. Features overview ============= - UI optimized for manual capture - RAW and ProRAW (on supported devices) photo capture - Auto, manual and semi-automatic (ISO- and Shutter-priority) exposure modes - Photo, Burst, Portrait, Slow Shutter, Exposure Bracket, Focus Bracket, Video and Time-lapse - Clipping warnings to highlight under- and over-exposed areas in real time - Focus peaking and loupe during the manual focus adjustments - Single or series of Exposure Brackets with up to 15 images per bracket.

About

Sunset Predictor with AR

Features
Read full description

Most sun-tracking apps can tell you WHEN the sun will set. Sunset Predictor tells you whether it's actually going to look good. Using live weather and cloud-layer data, Sunset Predictor scores tonight's sunset from 0-100 — so you know before you grab your camera and head out whether you're in for a vibrant, colorful show or a flat, gray non-event. WHY THIS APP IS DIFFERENT Other sun-position apps show you the math: azimuth, elevation, golden hour times. Useful, but they can't tell you if the sky will actually be worth photographing. Sunset Predictor analyzes low, mid, and high cloud cover, humidity, and visibility to give you a real quality forecast — built specifically for photographers who don't want to waste a golden hour on a washed-out sky. FEATURES - Sunset Quality Score — a 0-100 rating based on live weather data, with a plain-English explanation of what's driving the score - Golden & Blue Hour Timing — exact sunset, golden hour, and blue hour times for any date and location - AR Sun Path Overlay — point your camera at the sky and see exactly where the sun is now, where it'll be each hour, and where it sets — overlaid live on your camera view - Compass View — a clean, always-available view of the sun's direction relative to where you're standing - Plan Ahead — check any date up to 60 days out. Forecasts are most accurate within 7 days; beyond that, you'll still get exact timing and direction to help you plan a trip or shoot - Favorite Locations — save the spots you shoot most, or search any city or address to check conditions before you travel - Sunset Alerts — optional notifications when a great sunset is predicted, so you never miss one because you didn't check the app - Built for Photographers — designed and field-tested by a working photographer who needed this tool and couldn't find it WHO IT'S FOR Landscape and golden-hour photographers, drone pilots, wedding and portrait photographers timing outdoor sessions, or anyone who just doesn't want to miss a great sunset. One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account required, no data collected.
