What's the best iPhone Photography app for night time?

(For Professional iPhone Photographers Only) I've been an amateur iPhone Photographer for a while but I've only been able to take successful day time pictures, what are the best app for capturing those crystal clear night time shots in your experience? Please if there's a just as good Free one please don't hesitate to list that as wel.

Think about this for a moment:

You are expecting a TELEPHONE not only to do the job of a CAMERA, but that of a GOOD camera.

It can't happen.

A phone has a super tiny lens, and even that is only so-so quality.

It also has a TINY little sensor - and sensors happen to be the most important part in this equation.

You have no hope of capturing decent night time shots on ANY phone "camera".

For good low light photography, you need to have a DSLR, and a good one at that.

Least of all can you expect a silly little piece of toy software - an APP - to rescue your totally hopeless situation.

You have a LOT to learn for even considering this to be possible.

Lol watch out the camera snobs here will go crazy cos u mentioned an app.

The problem is with any small sensor (especially one where a LOT of megapixels have been crammed) is that in low light the signal to noise ratio is poor, so image quality suffers. This is true of both compact point & shoots, but is even worse in camera phones which have a very small sensor.

It would help if you said what you were trying to capture? Is it night time landscapes/cityscapes, or were you after something for portrait photography with the onboard flash?

Iphone camera apps are actually pretty decent, I use Snapseed and get decent results out of it. But yes unfortunately a phone camera will never hold a candle to the mighty SLR or even high end compact camera.

In saying that though the technology is advancing at a rapid rate and I can see phone cameras being comparable to current SLRs in a few years but for now alas they are a little lacking.

Due to the tiny sensor they can only really shoot around ISO 100 or so, anything above that and noise will start to ruin the image. That's why phone pics at night time will always be blurry or just plain dark. You can get a tripod but there's no manual control so if the phone doesn't want to lengthen the exposure or can't bump up the ISO it won't.

Time Magazine, Getty Images and numerous US papers have all featured iPhone images prominently and the general public thought nothing of it. The trained eye can of course tell but most people wouldn't know the difference.

The Chicago Sun Times recently fired all their staff photographers and are training their reporters in iPhone photography, but that's a whole different can of worms I don't think we'd want to open here.

So to summarise your Iphone, shiny as it is will not be able to take amazing night time images I'm afraid, you'll have to wait a few more years for that. Happy shooting, shoot what you enjoy and enjoy what you shoot.
