About the Image(s)
During a trip to Cape Cod - there were several opportunities to photograph sunset. I captured this image with an iphone app that allows long exposures (Slow Shutter in Camera+ app).
This is a 30 second exposure - iphone on tripod.

I love the look that the slow shutter gives to the water. Well done.
Do you have a tripod you use for the phone that you recommend? Posted: 05/04/2025 22:09:59

Thank you! I do not have a specific iPhone tripod. I bought from B&H a JOBY iPhone clamp that attaches to a conventional tripod and holds the iPhone at various angles and portrait/landscape orientations.
Something you may consider is using iPhone's Live Photo to create the slow shutter appearance by stacking a 2 second serious of images. That works well most of the time and doesn't require a tripod.
FYI - the iPhone doesn't have a "slow shutter" (for example 2 or 30 seconds) similar to a 35mm camera - rather it takes a series of still images and stacks them together with software. Most of the time the effect is realistic; sometimes you can see artifacts. Posted: 05/05/2025 10:24:04

Thank you for all that info. For awhile I had a slow shutter app on my phone but it's no longer supported. Posted: 05/05/2025 12:25:13
Hi Steven,
Your long exposure image is beautiful! The angle you captured it is well composed with the diagonal lines of the remaining piers (?) with the mixture of sand, water, horizon, and sunset.
One minor suggestion is to crop off the horizontal element on the left that was knocked down. Thanks for sharing your technique! Posted: 05/06/2025 11:35:42

Very nice Steven. Although I usually don't care about this, here, for some reason I'd really prefer the angle be left to right. But being you saw it this way, that's fine. It's great seeing what the iPhone can do! Posted: 05/09/2025 01:56:06
