No serious landscape photographer should go on a shoot without this app. It takes the mental gymnastics out of calculating camera adjustments necessary to achieve the best creative results using ND filters and long exposures.

Want to photograph star trails? You need to know the settings for your camera. This app is where you will find them. An intuitive interface gives you the calculations for all kinds of nature subjects such as aurora photography, and lunar imaging. Now all you need is a reliable camera, proper clothing, and a sense of adventure.

LExp is an exceptional photography tool that provides a series of handy calculators to optimize camera settings for a variety of landscape, nighttime and tripod-based captures. The app is extremely easy to use and for less experienced photographers, provides well-written documentation and explanations of the features and function of each calculator. Even though I know most of the rules covered by the app, the calculators include a number of additional elements that are camera (e.g., high-res) or condition (moon shots in clear vs. hazy conditions) specific to optimize your exposures. Would love to see an Android version for my phone and auto-rotate for the app since I typically use my iPad on a keypad stand.
