Photography Tools - Aperture

Aperture is the precision photography toolkit designed for serious photographers who want accurate calculations in the field.

Whether you're shooting long exposures at dusk, planning a milky way session, asking an AI photography question, or calculating the perfect depth of field for a portrait - Aperture has every tool you need in one place.

CALCULATORS

ND Filter Calculator
Calculate the correct shutter speed when adding ND filters. Enter your base exposure and filter strength, get the perfect long exposure shutter speed instantly.

Depth of Field (DOF) Calculator
Find your exact near and far focus limits. Enter aperture, focal length, and subject distance to see your full depth of field in metric or imperial units.

Hyperfocal Distance
Maximize sharpness across the entire frame. Calculate the hyperfocal distance for any lens and aperture combination to get everything in focus from foreground to infinity.

Equivalent Exposure
Match exposure across different settings. Change ISO, aperture, or shutter speed while keeping the same exposure - perfect for bracketing or switching from tripod to handheld.

Sunny 16 Rule
A quick reference guide for outdoor exposure without a meter. Organized by light condition from full sun to deep shade.

PLANNING

Sun and Moon Data
See precise golden hour, blue hour, nautical dawn, astronomical dawn, sunrise, and sunset times for any date and location. Moon phase, illumination, moonrise, and moonset included.

Golden Hour Countdown
Live countdown to the next golden hour or blue hour from your current location. Never miss the light again.

Milky Way Planner
Find the best night window and direction to photograph the galactic core. See moon illumination, peak altitude, azimuth bearing, and the three best months of the year for your location.

REFERENCE
