I built Obscura for a few simple reasons. I'm a photographer and I love using my iPhone as a camera but constantly found myself struggling with the controls (or lack thereof).

I'm always looking for new iPhone camera apps. The one I use the most, Apple's default one, is pretty good. But sometimes I need more control. Got no need for fancy editing or busloads of filters, just an app with a bit more manual control over the quality of the shots. Obscura seems like the prefect app for that.

There are a lot of iPhone camera apps out there but its refreshing to find one that acts like an actual camera. The quality of the output is really quite good. Now if there was some way to get RAW files from the iPhone without having to add on another camera...

I have developed a custom camera module by inheriting the iOS camera for a QR code scanner in Obj C. I knew how hard it is. Well Done @benricem ! I have been using the app for quite long time and loving it.
