Iphone Photo Application Part 3

Well this is the last part for this post hopefully!!!

I would like to start off with the first one "Instagram" I think most of y'all know about it!!! i think this is one of the best apps of iphone for photo editing!!! I not only allows you to edit the pics... there is a community of instagram, where you get to post your picture, follow people, find the popular photos and share your thoughts on them!!

With regard to editing... This app has a numerous effects which gives a very peculiar result, which i can swear i have never seen in any other apps.... these effects give a very dark result... dark i mean the mysterious look!!!! These effects are a bit of a combination of cross process, lomo, retro, vintage... and maybe red tint tooo!!!! but all in all there are definitely unique!!!!

This is just not it.... You not only have the privilege to have your own profile and share your pictures in the instagram community. You can also share it on various social networking sites as Facebook, twitter, flickr, tumblr and foursquare.

Second app "Pudding Cam" first of all this app is not in english! that is the only problem but yeah you can figure out whats what tho! when you want to search for this app... just search for pudding cam... you will come up with this ;). This app gives you a range of toy camera lens and films....
The range of films provided are vintage brown, blue, dazzle, noir, mono and few more..... and the range of lens are fish eye, motion x2, panorama, motion 2x2, motion x4 and a few more!!once you click your picture.. it is saved in the photo album!!! There is an option of emailing as well.... and also a pudding cam account, which i dont understand coz its in some other language.... ( m not sure if its Chinese or something else!!)In the settings i could understand was the size of the picture. So yeah this is definitely a fun app... except for the fact its in some language!!!

third app of the day "Retro Cam" this is another unique app... this app gives you 5 diff toy camera's namely "The Barbel", "Little Orange box" , "Xolaroid 2000" , "Pinhole Camera", "Fudge Cam." This app not only provides you the effects of these cam but also information about them. There is an option of taking the pictures in colour or black and white. The pictures taken are saved in the app and can be shared to facebook, twitter, email or saved to camera roll!!! this is a really good app if you like vintage look.

Fourth app "Iron cam" as the name suggests it kinda looks interesting and at first looks complicated. You have the option to change the image size, zoom, vignette. once the picture is taken after adjusting the above options you are directed to another page which gives you the options frame, film which is only cross process and a vintage look, blur and some icons to paste. You can also share it to your twitter account, facebook and you also have a tutorial picture to show what works how? This is also a decent free app....

Fifth one "Classic Toy" this one i downloaded is a free version so i have my hands-on on only 3 types of lens  but you can purchase 6 different packages which provide 6 lens each! but the app is very generous on the types of film you get to play with, you are provided with a whooping 14 different film rolls. This app really gives you the perfect imperfect pinhole type images.... which is really impressive. So again this is a good app to play with!

Sixth: "Photogami" this app has 3 main themes- Colour, monotone and Frame. The frames are not that innovative but the effects are pretty good!!! the first thing that caught my attention is the effects can be overlayed on each effect ( which you will find in the pictures from the link below) and has a wide range of effects like paint, purple haze, psychedelic, posterize and vintage. Monocolour also has a wide range as rose, duotone, b&w, noir and sketch! on the whole this is also a really nice one....

Seventh "Picplz" This is quite similar to the instagram but this has different kind of effects, the best ones are the cross process, 70's and vintage. You can share it directly to twitter, facebook, flickr, tumblr, foursquare and Dropbox. The only thing i dint figure out is how to save it in the camera roll. In a way i prefer Instagram is better than Picplz.

Last but not the least app "A sunset" this converts any picture into a beautiful sunset kinda look picture.

And yes i finally figured out how to insert a photo stream in the blog and i hope it works out!!!

Iphone Photo Application Part 2

Here comes the second part of the iphone photography applications!!!
First one "Crazy Booth" asusual part of apps you have the option of uploading your own picture from the album or take one! once you go the main screen you see 4 pages. 1 being funfair: it has popart, heat cam, sepia, B&W and obama which is the only interesting one in this page as this gives kinda of a reddish blue poster look! . 2 also being funfair: ripple, twirl,  checkers, twin, mirror.. .nothing really interesting actually for the mirror effect!!  3 is carzy:  its got xray, alien, puzzle and peephole... puzzle is nice as it kinda jigsaw puzzles your picture except for the fact you cannot move anything ;) peephole kinda gives you a fish eye effect. last one is the curious: its got UV, darkroom and few other effect.... On the whole this app is not that great and to add to the negative points its slow!!!

second one: "Light Meter" this is not an editing app... this gives you information on the "aperture f", "ISO"  and "shutter speed" for SLR camera's. You can lock one of the aspect to find the appropriate ones.... This is an useful app for SLR beginners like me, who can experiment and learn the appropriate aspects of the SLR. :)

Third: "Super Camera: All in 1" this app is just the name for me!!! personally i think the other apps have better effects and the only effect which the other ones i havent noticed is the "HDR"which is actually pretty nice in this app!!! other than that it has the usual sepia, b&w, soft light, emboss, sketch and sharpen. It also has a bunch of frames and an anti shake option to take the pictures... I cannot complain coz this is a Lite version, if i want more out of this app...yes i should purchase a full version of it....

Fourth: "Format 126" This app is one of the oldest app in my iphone ;) it is actually pretty interesting, Its got a range of Lomo kind of effects.... The effects it has are the "Colour plus", which ofcourse emphasizes the colours in the picture and brightens it. "Pola colour" it kinda fades the colour in the picture. "Mono Plus", "Mono"and "Mono Hi" they convert the picture into black & white with varying shades of the black, white and gray. "Colour Hint" provides a mix of the colour aswell as the monotone!!!! and finally "Lofi" i really like this effect as it has a mix of Lomo an colour plus effect... it really brings out the colour in the picture. It also has the option of vignetting, border and square frame....

Fifth: "My Film Lite" this is actually an awesome app for ppl who likes the whole idea in the slr cameras where you can choose one particular point in a picture to be focussed and the rest blurred.... This shows the focus point really good... and more over you can ever choose the development colour aswell the shape of the focus points. So thumbs up for this app!!!

Last but not the least in this part is the "Pic Grunger" this app... converts your pictures into a kinda of grunge effect. The Lite version has 4 effects 1)Aged, the name says it all. 2) Bleech Spill- again it has a grunge effect on the picture with a spill like effect on the corners 3) Scruffed and 4) Streaked they both give the same kind of grunge feel to the photograph. You also have the option of changing the styles in each effect, strength of the effect and finally the adding a border to the photograph.

Here is the link to the link to the pictures....
