Just about ever photo app I have covered has some level of filter enhancements available to apply to your iPhone photos. Many  filters have a common name from one app to the next but act slightly differently. The most common know filtered photos are those coming out of Instragram with it’s group of offerings. No [...]

As projects or events get rolling along, I have a tendency to take pictures along the way. When I sync to iPhoto on the notebook, I try to get them tagged properly. Then, later, when it comes time to tell the story, I search for the images and build a folder of them. I stumbled [...]

I have played with a few apps that claim to help with night photography. They either hang the shutter open longer or they won’t take the photo till the camera is perfectly still. Either way, a tripod is a must. I happened across a app today, Night Shot-Handheld, that has a different take on getting [...]

It’s been a busy last few days in the world of iPhone Photos social sharing technologies. Three come to mind, the first was getting all kinds of press over the last 24 hours. Milk has decided to discontinue Oink, the ranking/share iPhone app. The app and it’s services jumped onto the scenes last November from [...]

Camera+ gets used a lot. That is to say, I have a large selection of iPhone Photo apps I use every day. They go from very specialized to very generalized. There are a couple that are ‘do it all’ apps that I can shoot with, as well do my final edits in. Camera+ is one [...]

Funny, I’m involved in the movie making industry, yet I record almost no video with my iPhone. I lean more towards taking photographs and playing with a snapshot of history. An app I have had on my iPhone for those times I do want to record video is FiLMiC Pro. I bought it the first [...]

Getting back to actually taking the photos with your iPhone. Forget filters and frames and highlights and even cleanup. CameraSharp takes me back to the actual action of taking the photo and not the clean up. The (current free) app starts off by making it easy to do a focus and exposure area split. Instead [...]

A couple things happened this last week that brought Google+ to mind. While I like the system for sharing photos, there is little other that has really grabbed me to drive daily posts. The system is fine, and the folks at Google has brought together many features I enjoy on other systems. I post photos [...]

At first when I saw this app, I thought about the number of times I take group shots of people. It is a pretty low number so I didn’t see the need to load it on my iPhone. Last weekend I was taking a photo for a collector’s site about the things to carry when [...]

While a picture is worth a thousand words, a hint sometimes helps. On most of the photo sharing social systems, a bit of text can be added to expand on the photo message. Hash tag keywords is popular too so viewers can group photo viewing. A ‘newer’ offering to the social photo sharing options is [...]

“Taking photos faster with the iPhone” isn’t a hot tip on how to focus faster or how to tap into a secret power of the iPhone camera. Instead, it’s a camera app for the iPhone that I see is free for the day. How Fast Camera accomplishes quicker photo taking is by starting to take [...]

Saw this ‘free’ app “for this weekend only” and thought you might have a need for it. The effect defiantly is for some photos, not an enhancement you will use on all of your photos. Strong contrast photos work the best, people’s faces are a natural. Of course, I ran around the house taking pictures [...]
