APPS which ones do you use ?

[hjoseph7]

<p>There are so many APPS coming out these days to help photographers solve some complex issues. There is an APP that can help you take pictures of lightning storms, something that until now required complex equipment. There are APPs that can help photographers do time interval photography and it only costs 20 bucks. The only problem is that you need an iPhone and some cables.<br>

Pretty soon they might have an APP that can wirelessly transmitt your DSLR photos if it's not already out. You never know maybe the iPhone might soon replace your expensive DSLR. How many of you use his stuff or think it's helpful. </p>

<p>None!</p>

[lauren_macintosh]

<p>agree none</p>

[SCL]

<p>ditto - none. But it is probably appealing to younger less experienced photographers.</p>

[leslie_cheung]

<p>It's both helpful and harmful, like most technologies. It'd be more appealing to me if there were an android/iOS wifi p&s camera. And I'm not too sure about the inexperienced/younger comment. I see many older folks browsing tablet computers at Bestbuy recently and numbers of younger photog interested in leicas M and other film cameras over the past few years...</p>

<p>I like and use the APP embedded in my Pentax K100D DSLR that converts electrical charges measured off the sensor pixel sites into non-demosaiced Raw data for me to manipulate in Adobe Camera Raw, another APP I like and use.</p>

<p>If I had a smart phone, I would use this:<br>

<p>As it stands I use the desktop-based version. </p>

 

[superinc]

<p>I agree , none. Juggling smartphone and camera/lens while trying to shoot , just missing shots. <br>

all the tools 'Apps' are already in the camera just gotta learn to used them.</p>

[steve m smith]

<p>None. Probably because I have nothing to run them on and have no intention of changing that situation.</p>

Indeed they are. Shutter speed, aperture and focus.</p>

<p>The Photographers Ephemeris in conjunction with Google Earth</p>

[MichaelChang]

<p>Modern apps for iOS and Android evolved from the early Palm and PocketPC era. It all began when a portable gadget gained more hardware capability than an organizer/calendar/translator called for. </p>

<p>Microsoft wants to change that with their new tablet designed to run Windows 8. It will have desktop/laptop/notebook/ultrabook capability in tablet form with a full keyboard allowing even more capability in a portable platform. </p>

<p>The sophistication of apps will only increase with incrementally better hardware, but they are only useful if you can find a use for them. </p>

[Spearhead]

<p>I use Camera+.</p>

[rossb]

<p>No apps in my life so far. </p>

<p>[[The Photographers Ephemeris in conjunction with Google Earth]]<br>

Which itself is in conjunction with the actual Earth...</p>

<p>The real question is, who's going to re-write it to take advantage of Google Moon?</p>

<p>http://www.google.com/moon/</p>

 

[MichaelChang]

<p>Google will write it when the moon becomes a tourist destination. Until then, anyone with the capability to view the moon in high resolution will be well beyond needing Google apps. </p>

<p>The App I use the most on the iPhone is 'Stopwatch' for bulb mode - works in the dark. Otherwise I use the ephemeris, shralp tide tables and weather. I also have snapseed but so far have never used it. I also used Flashlight once.</p>

[David_Cavan]

<p>Photographers Ephemeris is a very nice tool. We also use google maps on the iPad a lot when we are out in the field for the satellite photos of a location - it can save you a lot of rambling around. On the iPhone I've used hipstamatic (kind of meehh) camera+ (which is kind of cool) and flixel, which is interesting for about 10 minutes and then becomes a lot of sameness.</p>
