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.
