Photographer's companion Pro

/!\ THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION TO TAKE PHOTOS, BUT TO HELP TO PERFORM SETTINGS IN MANUAL MODE ON A CAMERA OR A DEDICATED APPLICATION.

THIS IS THE AD-FREE VERSION OF PHOTOGRAPHER'S COMPANION WITH MORE FEATURES.

This application will help you to abandon the automatic mode of your cameras that doesn't do everything and control everything. For more experienced photographers, it can simplify the settings by doing the calculations for you (/!\ Camera adjustment must be done manually). It includes more than 40 tools and will also allow you to plan your photo outings from home by locating the places and positions of the Sun, the Moon or the Milky Way.

In any case, it is not a magic application to make beautiful pictures every time, but it will allow you to find a basic setting to refine to get the best picture you think.

It is aimed at professional or amateur photographers (basic knowledge is required) and offers the tools to:
- Calculate the alternative/equivalent exposure (manages the ND filter and long exposures)
