About this app

Developer Description

Helper application for photographers calculating adjustments to make.

/!\ THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION TO TAKE PHOTOS, BUT TO HELP TO PERFORM SETTINGS IN MANUAL MODE ON A CAMERA OR A DEDICATED APPLICATION.

THIS IS THE AD-FREE VERSION OF PHOTOGRAPHER'S COMPANION WITH MORE FEATURES.

This application will help you to abandon the automatic mode of your cameras that doesn't do everything and control everything. For more experienced photographers, it can simplify the settings by doing the calculations for you (/!\ Camera adjustment must be done manually). It includes more than 40 tools and will also allow you to plan your photo outings from home by locating the places and positions of the Sun, the Moon or the Milky Way.

In any case, it is not a magic application to make beautiful pictures every time, but it will allow you to find a basic setting to refine to get the best picture you think.

It is aimed at professional or amateur photographers (basic knowledge is required) and offers the tools to:
- Calculate the alternative/equivalent exposure (manages the ND filter and long exposures)
- Calculate the depth of field, hyperfocal and simulation of Bokeh
- Calculate the field of view
- Calculate the shutter speed to freeze the motion of a subject
- Capture/Photograph sunrise/sunset, the golden hour and the blue hour
- Get the position of the sun, time of sunrise/sunset, golden hours, blue hours and monthly calendar

- Capture/Photograph the stars, the milky way without or with star trails (Simulator)
- Capture/Photograph the northern lights
- Capture/Photograph the lightning and the fireworks
- Calculate the best setting for an EV (exposure value) given
- Calculate distance or aperture with a flash
- Calculate the optimum settings according to the lighting of the place (Light Meter), the reflectance (albedo) of the subject and measure light color temperature
- Calculate for the macro photo the possible magnification with a close-up lens or an extension tube
- Calculate the print size
- Time lapse
- Planner for landscape photos, from a drone and panorama
- Black and white film developing

Bought the pro version after trying the free one. Very useful companion app to have with you whilst setting up photos. Using manual exposures more nowadays so this app is particularly helpful. This app is well maintained by the developer. Very pleased!

Good app although it could badly use a more modern, cleaner interface. The new focal comparison option under the photographic composition tool is basically unusable outdoors because the focal lengths are written in such small writing that they are nearly invisible. The tilt lens function is now fixed though, thanks!

This is an update on my earlier review. It's taken a few more days to figure the app out. The reflected light (camera) feature is where I was getting permission errors. But my Galaxy S9 has a light sensor and that feature is designed for cameras that don't have one. Everything is working, the calibration feature a plus. I'm still on the learning curb. The app has a lot to offer and will be using it often. Video tutorials would be a plus for an app with this level of depth.

I feel like I wasted $2 on this. This should be marketed to beginners and not the intermediate to pro shooter. The demonstration also are far inferior to a similar app I've seen made for IOS.
