Apple’s Camera app can create long exposure effects from Live Photos, but Spectre takes a different approach. After using it to photograph beaches, waterfalls, cityscapes, and sunsets, here’s why it remains one of my favorite iPhone photography apps.
I created a set of printable long exposure reference cards for the Hasselblad X2D II 100C to simplify ND filter calculations while shooting landscapes and seascapes in the field.
A few sample images from my first outing with the Hasselblad X2D II 100C and XCD 28P lens in Christiansted, St. Croix. These images were captured while walking through town and along the Boardwalk, focusing on architecture, color, and quiet everyday scenes.
My Hasselblad editing workflow is intentionally built around the iPad Pro instead of a traditional desktop setup. Here’s how I use the X2D II 100C, Phocus Mobile 2, Photomator, and a mobile-first workflow while traveling.

More features packed into menus and submenus. And then there are cameras that seem designed to slow you down. That’s what attracted me to the Hasselblad X2D…
If you enjoy mobile photography you’ll like this app comparison. I really like mobile photography and believe it is the future. Of course, I still want high quality images even when using my mobile phone camera. This is where the Hydra app comes in to … well the picture. Hydra is a photo app available…
I’ve been really interested in 360 VR photography lately. I have a trip coming up to Peru with a planned stop at Machu Picchu and I want to create some 360 VR photos to document that portion of the trip. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about Insta360, GoPro Fusion (just purchased one yesterday…
I purchased the Light L16 camera recently and was excited to do some photo tests. I decided to compare it with my iPhone 7+ and Sony RX10 IV. I’ve included a sample image from each device below. However, the iPhone 7+ really doesn’t compare to either of these cameras so I’m not going to include…
