Northern Lights Photo Taker 4+

I used the app on a recent northern lights tour from Reykjavik and very pleased with the results. I only had a cheap digital camera and it wasn't taking any decent photos of the northern lights regardless of the settings I changed. I tried this app on my iPhone 5s and was pleased that I was able to capture the lights I was seeing - the tour guide even remarked on how good the photos were for a phone. I'm sure if you have a expensive digital camera the photos would be better...but I wasn't investing in one just for the northern lights. It didn't seem to be as effective on my iPad 3 though.

If you are in Iceland and planning to see the Northern lights then you need this app! When we were told on our guide that the lights were visible all you could see was grey vapour against the black sky. It didn’t look like how you would imagine it to work green trails high up. By using this app I managed to get great pictures where
You could see the green lights. I can now show the pictures to family to prove that we saw them!

Well worth 99p. Only suggestions are that you really have to keep the camera still when you take the picture, a tripod would be ideal but I am not going to use one. Perfect in between solution.

Currently in Reykjavik and bought this just before we left. Glad I did as our relatively decent camera picked up nothing despite setting the ISO, shutter speed, etc as per all expert recommendations. iPhone 6s didn't pick it up on normal camera either, however using this app the photos are amazing. So easy to use as well. I used a 6s iPhone but ended up sending the photos to another lady on the tour as her iphone4 didn't pick it up very well despite using this app also. she was amazed at how good mine were (down to the app, not my technique!). Honestly the best 79p I've spent, do it!
