ND filters ( exposure calculator)

Calculate your shutter speed when using Neutral Density filters and/or Circular polarizer filter

- 1-STOP to 20-STOP ND filter(s) value input
- 1/3 stop exposure increments
- circular polarizer filter add-on at a tap of a button
- timer for longer shutter speeds

Quickest one-page UI for calculating your shutter speed when using ND filters, no redundancy, no clutter, essentials-biased clean design.

Star trails calculator

Earths rotation on its own axis makes the stars appear to move on the night sky ( 2,5 degrees/10 min.) around the north and south virtual pointers of the axis, the North Star in the northern hemisphere and the South Cellestial Pole star in the southern hemispere.

- calculate the photography session time needed for the stars to travel the path length you envisioned for your photo
- path length illustrator
- establish the number of frames needed to complete your star trails photo, according to the exposure value (shutter speed) you will be using.

Your star trails photography solution!

Still stars

Photograph the stars on the night sky as you perceive them, still and beautifull !

- rule of 600 calculator, establish the max. (slowest) shutter speed to freeze the stars with the equipment you wish to use.

Capturing the night sky in all its splendor can be a tricky business, due to Earths rotation movement around its axis the stars are constantly shifting position on the night sky, getting that frozen-action crisp image of the sky in your photo, that the human eye perceives is a fine balance of optics, senzor/film size and shutter speed.

The size of the impresionable area (senzor or film) and the focal lenght (mm) of your lens, subscribing to the rule of 600 will give you the max.(slowest) shutter speed that can be used to avoid perceivable movement of the stars in your photo.

Daylight information

Know your light and plan accordingly!

-location-based, daylight information a tap of the button away
