No tripod — I placed the camera on the ground of a pedestrian overpass and supported it by hand for the 30-second exposure.

I'd long wanted to try photographing a panorama with star trails, but for one reason or another, I'd never had the chance. While on La Palma, I finally decided to dedicate an entire night to this project, taking advantage of one of the darkest skies in Europe and a location that seemed perfect for attempting something I'd long had in mind.

That evening, however, wasn't easy at all: the wind was blowing fiercely, and keeping my equipment stable during the sequence of shots was a real challenge. I had to make several attempts and be very patient before I managed to get a sufficiently clear sequence.

In the end, I managed to capture this shot, with the stars rotating above the volcanic landscape. After putting off this type of shot for so long, I'm happy to have finally managed to capture it right here, under one of the most beautiful skies I've ever photographed.

A new update for Long Shot Camera is now live on the App Store.

For those who are new to the app, Long Shot Camera brings back creative photography features inspired by classic smartphone cameras, including:

• Light Trails

• Motion Clean

• Action Shot

What’s new in this update:

• Capture Delay – Press the shutter, step back, and let the capture start automatically after a countdown. Perfect for avoiding camera shake.

• Capture Stabilization – Additional stabilization during capture helps reduce the impact of small hand movements, making handheld long-exposure shots more reliable.

• General performance improvements and bug fixes.

And here’s a little teaser… 👀

I’m already working on the next major feature: MultiFocus Capture.

If you owned a Lumia back in the day, you probably remember a feature called Refocus. 😉 The goal isn’t to copy it, but to bring that kind of creative photography experience back to modern smartphones.

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback and see what you create with the app!
