This app makes it easy to take long-exposure photos with your iPhone. Capture the passage of time in a single image—from city lights, starry skies, star trails, and fireworks to flowing waterfalls and rivers. Choose from two blending modes to create the look you want. 【Light Trails】 Layers the light from each frame to create striking trails from fireworks, car headlights, stars, and more. Perfect for night photography. 【Motion Blur】 Averages multiple frames to give waterfalls and rivers a smooth, silky appearance. It can create a slow-shutter effect even in bright conditions and can also make moving people less noticeable. Key Features ・Exposure times from 1 to 180 seconds, plus Bulb mode that you can stop whenever you choose ・Live preview of the blended image while shooting ・Image stabilization to reduce camera shake without a tripod (up to 3 seconds in the free version) ・Post-capture brightness adjustment from −2.0 to +2.0 EV, with the option to save multiple versions ・Auto and manual focus, plus pinch-to-zoom ・Switch between lenses and front/rear cameras ・3-second and 10-second self-timers ・Grid and level tools for composing your shot ・Shoot using the iPhone volume buttons or a compatible Bluetooth remote shutter ・Selectable image quality and JPG saving ・EXIF metadata including exposure time and ISO Great For ・Cityscapes and illuminated night scenes ・Starry skies and star trails ・Fireworks ・Car and train light trails ・Motion blur in waterfalls, streams, oceans, and clouds ・Making moving people less noticeable in busy locations The free version includes all the essential features you need to enjoy long-exposure photography. The Pro version is available as a one-time purchase and adds manual ISO control, ad removal, noise reduction, unlimited stabilization duration with Bulb mode support, high-bit-depth 16-bit PNG saving, direct saving without the preview screen, and more. Tips for Better Results For standard long-exposure photography, mount your iPhone on a tripod or place it on a stable surface for sharper results. Image stabilization helps reduce camera shake when shooting without a tripod, but the edges of the resulting photo will be cropped slightly. Results and available lenses may vary depending on your iPhone model and shooting conditions.
