Lghtmtr is a beautifully simple light meter that helps you find — and understand — the ideal exposure settings for a scene. Built for film photographers and anyone learning the craft, it makes the relationship between ISO, aperture, and shutter speed feel intuitive and the visual feedback helps reinforce the connection between them. Take a reading, get your settings, and start exploring. Adjust one value and the others respond instantly. Lock settings to experiment and see how each change affects your exposure. You can easily add camera profiles to the app to limit the possible values to what's most relevant to your camera and lens combination. With a visual reference of the scene behind every reading, Lghtmtr helps you shoot with clarity and confidence.

About

LycheeSync

Read full description

Uploads photos from a selected album to your self-hosted Lychee open-source photo library (https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee). After install, set your Lychee server's URL, and a username/password of a user that can upload - and then let it know which albums to upload. It'll keep a (clearable) log of what it uploaded to prevent duplicate uploads on subsequent syncs.
