LightPainter app for iPhone and iPad

Create amazing long exposures and light paintings with your iPhone!

Light Painter finally brings long exposures to the iPhone to let you capture nighttime cityscapes, landscapes, create ghosts, or abstract scenes for example. Light Painter has a mode ("Additive") which makes long exposures possible with a customizable exposure rate.

Similar to the "Additive" mode, the "Average" mode starts with a fully exposed frame and keeps a running average of all light values. This mode lets you easily compose the picture in real-time, moving object in and out of frame for whatever effect you may want.

Another popular long exposure technique is the use of lights to "paint" the scene to create a dramatic effect. An online search for "light painting" will provide several examples. Lights will streak across the photo allowing you to draw with light. Light Painter includes a mode named "Maximum" which makes painting with light incredibly easy and virtually impossible to get bad results.

You can even mix the 3 modes to easily create complex scenes. Begin with the "Maximum" mode to use a light to paint a shape. When youre done, stop the exposure, switch to "Additive" mode, and then start exposing again to "lighten up" the scene.

While the photo is being exposed, you can even see a preview of the picture on the screen. This lets you see if something needs to be adjusted or lit differently and make that change while it is still being exposed.

Photos are saved to your photo album for you to upload using any other app of your choice.
