TRAIL - Long Exposure Camera Android

TRAIL - Long Exposure Camera

Light trails, silky water & light painting that build live as you watch.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Your phone's camera takes one frame. TRAIL keeps them all.

Point at moving light and hold. Headlights stretch into ribbons, a waterfall softens into silk, a torch waved in the air draws a glowing line — and you watch it build on screen while it happens. No processing screen, no waiting.

NEW IN 1.2
• Long exposure from any video: pick a clip from your phone and watch it build
• Self-timer (2, 5 or 10 s), so tapping the screen doesn't shake the shot
• Duration presets that stop by themselves, or Bulb until you tap again
• Pause and resume an exposure
• Steady indicator, grid and level
• Volume buttons and Bluetooth selfie remotes work as the shutter
• Change brightness and look after the shot
• Saves straight to your gallery (TRAIL album); shots taken sideways save upright
• Now in 11 languages

FIVE WAYS TO HOLD TIME
• Light Trails: headlights, city traffic, anything bright that moves
• Comet: trails that fade behind the light instead of staying forever
• Silk: waterfalls, waves and clouds smoothed into one flow
• Light Painting: draw in the air with a torch; only bright light is kept
• Motion Art: soft ghosting for people and crowds in motion

BUILT FOR LONG EXPOSURES
• The exposure builds live on screen, frame by frame
• Frames are stacked in high precision, so long exposures don't band or posterise
• Automatic compensation when the camera's own exposure drifts mid-shot
• Tail length and trail thickness controls
• 8 colour looks
• Save the build-up itself as a video
• Frame in 3:4, 9:16 or 1:1

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Frames are processed on the device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and there are no ads.

FREE AND PRO
Light Trails mode is free, with exposures up to 15 seconds (from the camera or from a video), saved at full resolution with a small watermark. TRAIL Pro unlocks all five modes, exposures up to 10 minutes, full-length videos, export without the watermark, all 8 colour looks, the extra controls, the build-up video and an unlimited in-app gallery. Pro is a subscription with a 3-day free trial, billed weekly, monthly or yearly. Cancel any time in Google Play.

A FEW HONEST NOTES
Long exposure is a real photographic technique, and it behaves like one:
• It wants moving light. TRAIL stacks what moves; it does not brighten a dark scene the way a night mode does.
• It wants darkness around the light. Pointing at a brightly lit room will wash out. That is the technique, not a fault.
• It wants a steady phone. Rest it on a wall, a railing or a bag, or use a tripod; the timer keeps your tap out of the shot.
• It wants a few seconds. A car crossing the frame takes time.

Get those right and the results are the kind of photograph people stop scrolling for.
