A classic camera app with more than 5 million downloads, selected as one of iTunes’ Best Apps of the Year. NightShooting is ideal for photographing night scenes and the night sky. ◎ Capture surprisingly beautiful night scenes even when shooting handheld. ◎ Use Bulb mode to photograph light painting and starry skies. Light painting can even be captured handheld without a tripod. (Hold the device firmly with your arms close to your body and avoid excessive movement.) ◎ Capture even very dark night scenes clearly and brightly. ◎ Photograph illuminations and fireworks with a vivid sense of atmosphere. Even without camera knowledge, the simple shooting wizard can choose the settings for you. Then anyone can take a photo simply by pressing the shutter. 【Details】 NightShooting is a camera app for taking beautiful night photographs. Night scenes with insufficient light inevitably contain a great deal of noise. Even at dusk, when the scene appears bright enough, photos can contain a surprising amount of noise. Long exposures reduce noise, but normally require a tripod to prevent blur. NightShooting solves this problem. Composite processing (multi-shot noise reduction) dramatically reduces noise, while automatic alignment makes beautiful handheld night photography possible. The app also supports triggering the shutter with a remote control’s volume button, helping reduce camera shake even further. When photographing a sleeping child in a dark room or a pet, the shutter sound can be disruptive. NightShooting therefore lets you adjust the shutter volume within the permitted range. High-quality PNG images can also be sent by email.

About

SnipFrame

Read full description

A camera that lets you draw the frame with your finger. Whatever shape you trace is the shape your photo keeps. Circles, stars, donuts, cutouts that follow an outline. Photos don't have to be rectangles. Trace a closed shape on the screen and the picture keeps that exact shape, with everything outside left transparent, so you get a cut-out image right away. DRAW THE FRAME Everything inside the line you trace gets captured. Don't like it? Just redraw. Stack multiple strokes to add or erase areas, so donut shapes or a kept-center cutout are all within reach. SAVE AND REUSE FRAMES Name a shape you like and save it. Next time, pick it from your library. PRICING Free to shoot. Multi-stroke drawing and unlimited saved frames unlock with a single one-time purchase. No subscription.
