Slow Shutter Cam: DSLR-Like Effects on Your iPhone

Just over a year ago I set out to master the manual operation of my Nikon D300 DSLR. That quest led to the development of the Manual DSLR Project and becoming a part of the photography community led to my involvement with Current Photographer. As I explored the manual controls on my DSLR I came to appreciate the ability, through the adjustment of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, to create effects and results that simply cannot be done on “Automatic” or “Program” mode. Now I love my iPhone camera, but there are certain creative things that you cannot do on the iPhone…or can you?

That is why I was excited to check out Slow Shutter Cam for the iPhone.
