How to Simulate Long Exposure with an iPhone Without ND Filters

Right off the bat, I’m going to add the disclaimer that this tutorial will probably not be for every type of photographer out there. If you have no interest in exploring the creative opportunities that mobile photography offers, then this video may not be for you.

But , I’d like to challenge you to at least consider it because mobile photography really has come such a long way over the years -- and I’m not advocating that you should replace your camera gear with a smartphone camera.

However, I am advocating those who have been closed off to it, to approach this with an open mind because there are so many fun photographic things that you can do these days with your smartphone camera. Here are two photos that were recently taken with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Spectre app (which I’ll share more about in the next paragraph). I imported both photos into Lightroom mobile and edited them on the fly. I mean, that’s just such a cool workflow to have at your disposal, right?

Speaking of photography workflow apps, one of my favorites is called Spectre, made by the same folks who develop the outstanding Halide camera app. It is important to note that both apps only work in Apple’s iOS and iPadOS ecosystems, but I suspect that there are some Android equivalent apps.

Spectre allows you to take simulated long exposure photos using three different shutter speeds: three seconds, five seconds, and nine seconds. What is more impressive is that you can get these photos without having to use an ND filter and the exposures won’t get blown out. The functionality is similar to what you can achieve when recording Live Photos in Apple’s own camera app, but the Spectre interface is much more robust and functional.

With that said, a lot of the real fun happens when you marry creating these mobile photos with the power of desktop apps like Adobe Photoshop. Suddenly, you have access to an arsenal of ridiculously powerful tools that aren’t currently available on mobile devices, or they’re not close to being equivalent in terms of performance, and that’s what the above video is all about.

I wanted to explore a start-to-finish long exposure workflow that starts with my phone (I’ve since upgraded to the iPhone 13 Pro Max) and ends in Adobe Photoshop on my laptop. I’m not necessarily trying to convince anyone, but I’d ask you to keep an open mind. I think the results are really impressive and I’m very curious to hear other photographers' thoughts on it.

Film news: Datafilm App

Film news: Datafilm App

Vincent Tantardini has been making an app. For film photographers. Vincent has put together a simple and free app that helps you to log your film usage. And it doesn't collect any of your data too, which is a very nice plus. Check out the Datafilm App.

Datafilm

I've recently created Datafilm, a note app for film photographers, to help them keep track of their settings and improve their practice. It all started with my own needs, and then I thought it may be a good idea to make it available for everyone.

This is not a commercial project. It's made by myself only, for passionate people. There is also no data collected, personal or not.

I was hoping that such an app could be interesting for film photographers. I also believe that great products are built over time, using user feedback and iterations. So yes, any feedback would be more than welcome :)

Apps

As a side note, I just wanted to answer an unasked but legit question: "I think apps like this are already available, free or not, why would I even try this one out?"

In one hand, I would answer that around 95% of them are factually quite old, outdated, not maintained, and lacking of what I've identified as key features.
And in the other hand there's a product on the market that, on paper, does pretty much everything you could think of. It's called Film shots - analog photo exif. Android, iOS, iPad, iWatch, Android Watch, handles filters, brings up concepts/features as film stages, like "shooting" > "in development" > "printed", etc.

While this project definitely brings up some interesting concepts, I had a different vision for Datafilm, relying less on a big amount of low usage features or device compatibility and more on user experience and simplicity.

Simple

So long story short, and I believe this may speaks to you. I have designed Datafilm as a Leica M, let's say in my mind it's an MP3, however it may only be an M2, or even the first M prototype haha :) Joke apart, the design thinking and approach was to get something viable, you can use along time, handy, fast, with a great user experience, readable, browsable, and maintainable over time.
I would say it's all focus on user experience. Took me around 4-5 months full time to picture it out in my mind and then make it happen. A simple but intuitive Note app as a companion to our film experience. Our phone is always with us, however I believe we don't need and want this extra piece of pen and paper in our pockets :)

My opinion about this product is that for research and development purposes, yes it is cool pretty cool, I did think about these kind of features during my own creation process too.
However, there's a couple of problems with this app: it crashes from time to time, it's confusing, it's slow, it's not handy, it's not necessary that "slick and clean" when it comes to visual design… It provides a lot of really cool and interesting features yes.. targeting maybe 3% of users (meaning they are actually polluting the 97% left over at the same time), etc… (I'm not here to bash, I think it is cool, it just doesn't suit me and my vision of great products).
