My Go-To iPhone Photography Apps

October 23, 2012 in Reviews-Recommendations, iPhone-Photography

I did a guest post some time ago about some different iPhone apps I use for photography. This is kind of an update to that post, so to see more apps, please check out that post as well.

Anyone who knows me, knows I like to take photos...of everything...using anything. My iPhone 4S is with me at all times and it has a pretty decent camera. Believe it or not I have three go-to apps that I use to edit photos on my iPhone.

PicFx

This app has over 100 effects, textures and frames. You can layer as many effects as you like using the "Add another" function.

Snapseed

A very strong app for editing. You can add filters, frames and do across the board tuning. However, the best part is the selective tuning (ie: dodging and burning) and detail tuning (ie: sharpening and structure).

Camera+

This app offers lots of scenes, filter effects and borders. It also has nice rotate and cropping capabilities.

Other apps that I use from time to time for fun effects --

Marblecam

Takes pictures that look as if you had focused on a glass marble with a macro lens.

Mobile Monet

Converts a photo to a beautiful artistic rendering employing a creative interactive process.

There are many many iPhone photography apps out there, so I'm sure there will be another update to this list in the future.

I took a trip down to Galveston today for Artoberfest. This event featured the awesome work of many area artists. Other than it being a rather hot day, I enjoyed the event tremendously.

Nikon D600 - Review Research

October 14, 2012 in Research, Reviews-Recommendations

I’ve been researching for a main camera replacement for my Nikon D90. “Go full frame” is what I hear from a lot of photographers, but I don’t want to spend the $$$ to get there. A few days ago the Nikon D600 was announced. The description I’ve heard over and over again is that it is a mixture of the D800 and D7000. Oh yeah…and the lower price point makes it more appealing for a full frame camera.
