ShotInstruct vs Orriva

Prepare your next shoot—not just your next setting. ShotInstruct is an offline photography field guide for beginners and practical hobbyists. It turns 10 common shooting situations into calm, repeatable plans with gear guidance, camera settings to try first, composition cues, and persistent checklists. A PLAN FOR THE SCENE Choose landscape, portrait, macro, sports and action, street, architecture, food, long exposure, astrophotography, or time-lapse photography. Each field recipe brings together: • required and optional gear • scene conditions to check • contextual aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focus starting points • three composition cues • common pitfalls and safety notes • a checklist that keeps its progress FOUR PHOTOGRAPHY CALCULATORS Plan with tools for: • ND filter exposure time • depth of field and hyperfocal distance • the 500 Rule for stars • time-lapse intervals and duration Each result includes assumptions and limits so you know what to verify in the field. SAVE WHAT MATTERS Save recipes, learning topics, and tools. Search in English or Ukrainian and return quickly to useful guidance. Favorites, checklist progress, preferences, and recent activity stay on your device. READY OFFLINE Core guides, instructional media, search, and calculators are included with the app. No account. No ads. No in-app analytics or tracking. LEARN, TEST, ADJUST Understand why a starting point works and what should make you change it. ShotInstruct is an educational reference, not a guarantee for every camera or scene. Take a test photo and adjust for your lens, light, subject, equipment limits, local rules, output, and creative intent.

Too many photos, too little time? Orriva finds the keepers from a burst, plans the light before you shoot, and develops your RAWs — completely offline, right on your device. THE KEEPER FINDER — FREE Import a burst of similar shots and Orriva suggests the sharpest one in each series. Double-tap to zoom to 100% and check the eyes yourself — the app only suggests, you decide. It never deletes anything on its own. PLAN THE LIGHT — FREE Blue hour and golden hour countdown, sunrise and sunset with compass bearings so you know where to stand, moon phase and local weather. The Horizont home-screen widget keeps it one glance away. CALCULATORS — FREE ND filter exposure times, hyperfocal distance, and the 500/NPF rule for night skies. PHOTO EDITOR (Pro) Looks with an adjustable strength slider, crop to popular ratios (1:1, 3:2, 4:5, 16:9), straighten the horizon, one-tap Auto, plus brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpening.
