Besty exif app7/21/2023 ![]() I wasn’t going to do it for absolutely every shot, more like “anchors” every once in a while to help reconstruct the sequence, so speed wasn’t a priority here. To help me recognise my films when they are back from the lab, I wanted to be able to take “reference photos” either for the entire roll or for individual frames. My absolute priority was a “one click” recording of camera, film, time and location without unlocking the phone, so all design decisions were made with this in mind. So after trying all the apps that I could find, including Exif Notes that Babak Farshchian recently wrote about, and finding that none of them ticks my boxes I decided to roll my own. ![]() I like going back to my photos and looking for memories – “Ah, yes, that was a walk we took thought the historic town centre after a lovely lunch, and that one was us eating ice cream with sea views the next day”.Īs we will see later, I ended up making it very easy to record exposure too upon multiple requests from my beta testers, even though for me personally it wasn’t a priority. What I did miss bitterly was metadata – what camera it was shot with and on what film and, more importantly, location and time of the shots. It creates a suspense and that happy delight when I get the developed films back from lab and the pictures pop out at me as I lift them to light. I am happy using the Sunny 16 rule, in fact I enjoy it. Now a popular choice for a film photographer-programmer is a light meter app, however metering wasn’t a pressing issue for me. Similarly to Barry Carr, who’s Analog Memo was featured on these pages, I am an avid film photographer and a software engineer, so naturally my first app was going to be about film photography. I hope you will love my new app ‘Film Shots’ – it lets you log your data right from the Lock screen and integrates with Lightroom.
