Thanks for review! Btw as a lightpainter main I think the "morse code" effect also comes from the light source not just from apps or cameras. For ex. a behind-a-tv led bar painting tool leaves dotted effect when the brightness is turned down and leaves continous effect when the brightness is crancked up. It's PWM. Also happens when whooting with dedicated cameras.
Just wanted to make the point as someone new to phone camera interest (thanks to my iPhone 12) your videos are right in the mark. Really enjoying them. 👍🏽
@@David_Addison oh... do you know apps that I can get RAW images from the phone taking long exposure time? I wanna astrophotography with my mobile phone and I dont know the apps that can get the light from deep space!
@@David_Addison Oh ok. 1 seconds of exposure is too short if I want to take pictures of deep sky... I won't get enough light on my sensor to take all the stars... Thank you for the reply. Let's see what I can get. Thank you and congratulations for you channel!
Good video mate. Nice job. I love the slow shutter app, I use it for a fair bit. The light painting in SSC is much better (in my opinion) than the moment app. I found the moment app still has that morse code look in light painting. I remember a few years ago I tried an app that was just terrible for long exposures. I couldnt remember what it was called. I think your second one was it. Bloody terrible. Good reviews mate.
Thank you very much! I've learned how to almost eliminate the 'morse code' look since making this video. I learn so much so fast I put my own videos out of date 😂😂
What about Ever longer and Astroshader? Would you compare them for Milky Way shots and which would you choose? Ever longer, astroshader or Slow shutter?
David,I want to use this for lighting streaks and saw in your demo that Slow Shutter Cam gave a smoother, less broken lines. Did I get that right? Thanks,
@@David_Addison I actually ended up buying the Slow Shutter Cam (that was a no-brainer) and finally decided on ProCamera (as opposed to Halide and Moment). ProCamera has a built-in 3D tilt meter which is super important for me as an architectural photographer. So that was a big plus for me. Thanks so much for your reviews! I binge-watched all of them :)
I have been following your videos regarding the iphone camera apps. Halide mark 2 is out of my budget. I want complete manual controls - and wanted to know your suggestion - shall I go for the moment app. Hope I won’t be disappointed. And if go ahead with the moment app do I also need to pick up the slow shutter cam. Do I need to pick up both or just Moment app for their respective features
There is this app called “blendeo” that has a ridiculous subscription/pricing on their app. What it advertises is something that other apps can’t do. Since its behind a paywall, i cannot use it. Maybe you can give it a try? I am already using slow shutter cam. But man I’ve used a huawei phone earlier and it could do all sorts of long exposure on its stock camera app.
Is there any reason to buy Slow Shutter Cam if you have Moment? I was actually also planning to but the Spectre cam for the handheld feature but it doesn't look so promising here or is it worth a try? Great Video btw 👍 +1 Sub
Thanks Andreas! No I don’t think so to be honest. Yeah, the handheld feature CAN work in very well lit situations but definitely not as intended unfortunately. It’s a shame because I want to like Spectre!
@@ashtonsun an underrated feature of slow shutter cam is its simplicity. Just 2 or 3 clicks and you good. Sometimes you don’t want to mess around with settings for 5 minutes before shooting.
I’m looking into getting into some easy astrophotography (I have a telescope and phone clip thing that’s used for birdwatching) so this is THE video I’ve been looking for 👌
Yeah Moment’s app is sick, thanks for mentioning it in another comment! Looking forward to being able to go out and actually take some decent photos with it.
I just bought slow shutter cam, but when I use the low light mode and do a long exposure of like 30 seconds, The picure isn't actually any brighter than before and that feature seems pointless. What am I missing?
Your review video was very interesting. In case of procam, can slow shutter mode be saved as raw? Shooting in slow shutter will only be saved in HEIC. I am very sad. If it's impossible, can you know which apps can be long exposed and raw?
@@catikri Unfortunately, you can't see the metadata in the Photos app. You have to tap the Share icon and choose 'Save to Files'. Then within the Files app long press on the photo and tap Info.
Buy both and DJI Osmo. I have my entire astronomy and astrophotography equipment. But sometimes they are not convenient, in fact, those occasions when I just feel like going out light. A great camera app, a mobile lens adapter and a dji stabilizer save the day or night….
Next up you should try the Focos app for portraits and that artificial bokeh on single lens camera phones like your Xr , It’s free but works best with the in-app. purchase.
I’ve tried Focos with the upgrade and it worked fairly well but it’s very limited by Apple’s depth mapping technology at the moment. I’ll be discussing/demonstrating depth in detail my next video.
Great review! I saw the long exposure exemple in the video and i noticed second heart close to painted heart. Is it effect of a lens flare? Do you know how to avoid that in light painting ? I have iPhone 12pro and sometimes i have that during the shooting.Thank a lot!
Many thanks for review ! I bought spectre mostly because of developer's team, because Halide was amazing. But I think they put all their effort on improving Halide, and spectre now is completely useless(
It's a shame that Apple does not always curate apps to protect their users from obvious scams. Some devs just release crappy apps just to serve ads for the quick buck. Thanks for this review!
Well that was an unexpected result! At least now we know. Are there any other apps I should try?
hello! where do i see the metadata that includes the ISO in my slow shutter camera app?
thank you so much! i hope you'll notice me! i need it for my photography class :))
I like when you show examples and explain at the same time the difference between the apps! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Roxy! Glad you like the video.

thanks David, great to see your attention to detail whilst reviewing and discussing ...
You will be a big youtuber soon.. Keep up the good work
Comments like yours motivate me to work even harder. Thanks!
Btw.. which app would you recommend for great overall photography and videography on iphone except for filmic pro...
Pro Cam 7 or Moment

Glad to hear it Darin. Welcome aboard!
That was very helpful indeed, thanks for sharing!
How can I get RAW images from these apps? Nice videos btw!
You can’t unfortunately as they’re just a simulation.
@@David_Addison oh... do you know apps that I can get RAW images from the phone taking long exposure time? I wanna astrophotography with my mobile phone and I dont know the apps that can get the light from deep space!
The longest time you can expose in RAW is only 1 second, even on the latest devices. Probably because the iPhone would overheat if longer.

@@Babett_B Thanks! I'm working on more all the time. Let me know how you get on with Slow Shutter Cam 😊
Moment or Slow Shutter Cam shut in RAW ?
Do any of the final 2 work with iPhone 6s?
How about NightCap Camera?
Useful video, thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it! Happy shooting.

Hi Karan, thanks for watching my videos! You should enjoy Moment, but before you purchase it you should check out my 2021 Moment App review 👍
@@David_Addison sure will do that
Thanks a lot buddy 👍
I have a question for 6,99
I get the full app or there are some features in purchase
Have Moment changed their pricing to make the Slow Shutter Mode an in app purchase?
Excellent review. Subbed!
Thank you 😊 more great content on the way

Moment has this feature built in so you don't need Slow Shutter. Spectre is for handheld especially. It's awesome.
@@David_Addison any handheld improvements in the 2 years since this video?

What about Camera+ 2? seems pretty decent as well
I hadn’t used it at the time.
Can you shoot long exposures in RAW with either The Moment app or The slow Shutter app ??
I got both moment and slow shutter cam , I never paid full attention to slow shutter cam as I was excited about moment’s light trail capture preset.
Yeah Moment’s app is sick, thanks for mentioning it in another comment! Looking forward to being able to go out and actually take some decent photos with it.

hi can somebody help me out here? where do i see the metadata in my slow shutter app?
Which one are you using?
@@David_Addison omg thank you for noticing! 🥺 i'm using the slow shutter camera app! the one you compared with moment app in the best apps :))

I already have ProCam. Should I get Moment or Slow Shutter Cam?
For long exposures, definitely! Just look at the examples in the video to see the difference in performance.
Many thanks for review ! I bought spectre mostly because of developer's team, because Halide was amazing. But I think they put all their effort on improving Halide, and spectre now is completely useless(

Yeah it boggles the mind how some of these get approved! Clearly they aren't checked or tested.
Can someone summarize the best apps, 12 minute video GG
