My Daily Camera

I don't know about you, but I don't always have time to pull out my camera and fix all the settings to capture my daily activities (I know...photographer faux pas), nor do I necessarily want to lug my camera around with me everywhere. This is partly because I don't necessarily want to become the photographer of the evening, just because I pull my camera out to take a picture. It is also because I honestly love my iPhone and all of the cool apps that can make daily photography fun!

So.....

...here are some of my app recommendations to make photo documentation of your life super fun!

HIPSTAMATIC - Read super fun "lenses" and "films" that you can use to become the ultimate hipster (if you like) of your friends. Only $1.99 to purchase and well worth it! You can buy different paks too!

INSTAGRAM - I love this app! First...it is FREEEEE. Score. 

Also, it reminds me of Tumblr meets Facebook, but less time wasted. There are a variety of different effects you can use and one in particular that I like is the bokeh(ish) effect you can do to your pictures. Once you finish a picture it goes into a feed where your Instagram friends can comment or like or be amazed at your camera phone abilities and decide to buy you a soy latte. Boom.

CAMERA + - This is my latest purchase and it is so fun! Whereas in Hipstamatic you have to change the settings to take the picture you want, Camera + allows you to apply the effects after you take or upload a picture (like Instagram). I love all of the choices! I especially love that the borders allow you to write text on them. There is a polaroid-looking one that I really like to use.

DIPTIC - Ever wonder how people do the photo collages with their phones? This is the app! I love using this! There are some days where I take a million pictures and want to condense them for FB or blogging purposes and this is the tool to do that. Only $.99!






I am sure you may have heard of some or all of these apps, but if not, you are welcome! Have fun!

Love,
Shoot
