Long Exposures - App for Apple Watch/iOS (mini giveaway!)

Howdy all,

I am a bit of a fan of long exposure photography (if you check out my photos you will see!). Recently I decided to build myself a tool to help with calculations for these shots. I use an iPhone, but didn’t love the other long exposure tools available already.

So I taught myself how to build apps for iOS, and I built the one I wanted.

I made it easy to use, and it is the first of its kind to work on Apple Watch - (I seem to experience a fear of dropping my phone off a cliff whilst working out long exposures!). It is called LongShot, and you can read more about it on my SmugMug website here: http://samuelmcdowell.com/Apps

Below is an example photo I took using LongShot.

If anyone is interested in trying it out, I am giving away 5 promo codes for a complementary version to my Dgrin/Smugmug family, to the first 5 people who ask under this thread (it's normally only .99c, but it is the thought that counts!).

As always, happy to hear any thoughts/feedback on LongShot (or my photography in general!)!!

    Hi lilirishangel, Thanks for the feedback!

    LongShot works on iPhone or iPad standalone too - just Apple Watch is an option for those that have one!
    regards,
    Sam

    Looks cool! I don't have any Apple hardware so can't try it out but seems promising anyway! Best of luck with the continued development!

    Hi there,

    It sure is ready - it has been the whole time. Were you after a code? I thought in your first message you said it wouldn't be of use to you??

    Let me know if you want a code - or to see more about the app check out this page on my website: http://samuelmcdowell.com/Apps
