Introducing Spectre

Spectre, an iPhone app, is a computational shutter for iPhone that allows everyone to take brilliant long exposures. A traditional shutter takes a single photo over a long period of time, collecting light to create a singular final image. Spectre reimagines long exposures: its intelligent shutter takes hundreds of photos during the exposure time and merges the result. That means you don’t just get a final still image, but also a video of the entire exposure as it happened.
