Iphone Photo Application Part 1

Yes, as I said I would write some posts on Iphone Photo Applications.... Here they are.... All the applications i will be writing about are free ( I don't like spending on applications hehe!! )

The first one is "MoreLomo" recently  i have fallen in love with the lomography, so well i have a lot of applications on lomo effect. well this app... has a very simple interface which allows you either to take a picture or load a picture from the camera roll. These pictures look really awesome!!! they have this vignetting around the corner and the lighting is dark! so yeah i love it!!

The next one is the Ädobe Photoshop Express"noone needs an introduction on photoshop in pc.... well i suck at it... and have been trying to learn it for the last three days... yes this again gives you an option of  taking a picture or load a picture from the camera roll.This app gives you loads of options as crop, flip, rotate, brightness, contrast, sharpen and loads more.... The interesting ones are the effects, my fav ones are the rainbow, vignette blur and white glow.

The third one is "PhotoWizard-lite" this one is pretty awesome!!! again the same options of the pictures but the filters and the effects are brilliant. I have to name a few nice ones Hue/ saturation works pretty awesome for a mobile app... ( ofcourse its iphone so I shouldnt be comparing it with any regular phone but still!!!) You can literally change the colour really good! I ll show you the original and the edited pictures below! This has even got a histogram aswell as colour balance!!!
Now going to the effects, the thermal camera!!! generally the apps give you just a slider for the heat map! this one gives you 3 types of heat map which can be adjusted! one is the general heat map you find in the softwares, 2nd one is brown tinted one which gives a old photo look and finally one with a purple.brown tint one which gives you a classic retro look....Wow! and theres a dreamy effect which gives a nice glow, neon which outlines the picture with a neon glow and you can change the hue aswell as the amount of neon! and there photobook, gray scale and a bunch more!!! and last but not the least you can actually mask parts of pictures to change just the parts of it... just like the real photoshop with layers!!! I am definitely impressed just with the Lite version...

The fourth one is the dash of colour.... which converts you picture into gray scale so you can colour just the parts which you need... This one i think i wouldnt mind if i had a stylus to do due to the fact that your fingers are not as pointy for the corners to get the colour. so yeah its nice but you gotta maybe practice a bit!

The last one for this post is the "Retro Camera Lite"... To start off with yeah it has the same options about the picture, there s crop, rotate, size and position. here comes the best part... this app is deff for people who like vintage and retro effects in a picture.... First the "film type" this one has a big bunch of the film types.. gray, B&W, blue tint, green tint, vintage look you name it you have it.... and it really gives you a feel too!!! and then you have contrast, grain noise, texture where you can choose the feel of the texture, its colour and the ratio... this would give a very good dark effect for the pic.... Last but not the least the frame.... you have a wide range of frames available... frames from Polaroid looking to 35 mm roll feel to stained expired film look. All in all this is one of the app i really love as well!!! The only thing in this is since its Lite version there s a watermark at the bottom of the picture which you can ofcourse crop it out ;-)
so this is all the apps for this post..... rest soon follows and
Here's the link to the photo's

Black & White film

Yeah! I think i wrote that i had some black &white film rolls and i am going to try them out with my Diana mini!! well yes i did! But..... after asking in a lot of places in india.... it seems supposedly they dont manually process the films anymore... and i dont want the machine process one coz they alter the film for contrast n other stuff!!!!
Anyways i had given it in a studio in Chennai that is in India, the guy said there are only 2 studio's which do the black &white process....
Well anyways i gave it to him and m back in Birmingham! and i gotta wait for few more months before i could get it back :( :(

Airbourne!!!

One of the main reason i came back asap from India was not just graduation but also the fact that i had booked a ticket for Airbourne concert, these guys are an Australian heavy metal band and they are AWESOME!!! thats all i can say! and another interesting thing is when i go for concerts in UK i don not take the standing ticket coz m pretty small compared to the people here! Jus coz i said m small means m not tiny m 5'5 hehe!
well anyways, so i took the standing ticket believe me or not! i was in the first row for the whole concert! those guys were singing and playing right in front of my freakin face!!! oh that was one experience i will never forget.
The main vocalist he can break a beer can with his head, how awesome is that huh?
check out the pictures

These sweet babies were lined up on the stage ;)














And yes it was AWESOME!!!! cant wait to go to the Rob Zombie concert!!!
hope i could get to stand in the 1st row again!!!

Pictures with a DSLR

These are the pictures taken with a canon 1000d cam! I dont own a slr as of now! but yeah hoping to own one pretty soon !!! well yeah i take random shots with my friend's slr and i think these pictures came out pretty awesome!!!
This teeny weeny fella was pretty amazing! as long as he had food he dint care who was standing how close!! i was really close to this fella!!!





and so was this fella!!! looks like the animals at touristic spots seems to care less about people being around them hehe!!!

and i have had pretty bad times with this creature!! can u believe i once got bitten by this mantis!! well i was trying to be very friendly and tried holding and that ended up by me getting bitten hehe!!!

India Part 3

Hmmmm!!!! there s more to this India files...... Got a bit busy with all the Christmas n stuff!!! and then that continued to being lazy, pissed, confused and annoyed and other emotions involved which dint let me do anythin :)

anyways that is not part of the blog! After kerala.... it was Hyderabad, Agra, Jaipur, Jaisalmer and Delhi. I ll upload the best photographs :)
Hyderabad:



Agra: You wont believe for reasons unknown to me i have always hated the Taj, well after i saw it this time it changed a teeny weeny bit.... i mean it is quite a massive and interesting structure. But i still would not agree on the part that this is "The Symbol of Love"



Next stop was Jaipur! The zoo was the most interesting thing i saw! i Love Zoo's!!! and yeah the Amber fort was nice and amazingly big!!!! i gave up on forts after i saw it.... too tired to see any more forts!!! ;)

This was such cute bear!!! i bet i feel how bored he is right now!!! 


and then we were off to Jaisalmer to see the "REAL"desert, when i came to jaipur i was wondering where all the sand was, silly me!!! was hoping the whole of rajastan is in a desert!!! Well anyways we went off to a desert safari, that is we get to ride camel in the desert and then eat and sleep in the wide open desert, wake up, have breakfast, ride the camel for few hours and then have lunch and get back to hotel! it was quite an interesting trip!!!!



This was my camel i was supposed to ride! trust me he was one grumpy fella!!! guess that suited me ;) he was as grumpy as i am most of the time!!! well i am happy bunny most of the time! but when i am pissed u better watch out :P :P




The last stop in the North was Delhi, here are a few shots 

and my madness for black & white emerges again! I do not know how many of you agree on this! Black & white gives some character and authenticity to the picture :) and i love it !!!





















From Delhi, we flew back to Goa chilled there for a week and then came to Chennai and I was off back to Birmingham as i had my graduation to attend!!!!
