FilmAdvisorBot

FilmAdvisorBot is an intelligent Telegram bot designed to assist film photographers in accurately determining exposure using a smartphone as a digital light meter.

The bot transforms the smartphone into a precise lighting analysis tool. The user photographs the scene with their phone and sends the image to the bot. Using image analysis algorithms, the system determines the optimal exposure parameters — shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation — taking into account the specific camera, lens, and type of film the user has.
