Description

Take the guesswork out of calculating your pinhole camera’s exposure time by using your phone or tablet as a light meter.

The meter is designed to work with any pinhole camera, and its particularly well suited for Kelli Anderson’s ‘This Book is a Camera.’

Includes a timer to count down every second to your ideal exposure, and an inverter to reveal the final image of your pinhole negative.

What’s New

Version 1.0.4

Adjustable aperture (f-stop) and ISO film values enable you to use This App is a Light Meter with any pinhole camera setup! Just tap on the 'Aperture' or 'ISO' buttons to select your camera's settings.

Elegant, Simple App I Wish Was Slightly Expanded

I love how simple this app is, and it's helpful under bright to cloudy daylight for shooting with a pinhole camera. The app won't calculate longer exposures, however, insisting that certain scenarios (incandescent, lighting, for instance) are "too dark". I've used a paper dial to calculate appropriate exposure times for those scenarios, but would really love to see this app be able to handle that. That being said, I really appreciate the simplicity and clean interface. It's perfect for students or beginners, and the inverter feature is a great teaching tool. Thank you so much for developing this! 🙏🏼

Just what I needed!

I love my Camera Book but light metering has until now been a pain point. None of the other light meter apps available were made with pinhole photography in mind. They are also mostly ugly, harder to use AND cost money.

Enter This App is a Light Meter! It solves ALL of the aforementioned problems. Not only does it work perfectly, it is super easy to use, and even has a most helpful bonus feature: An inverter. Now in one FREE app I can get the right exposure time instantly without having to fiddle with settings, set a timer, and even invert my negative after development. So great! Thanks for making this.
