7 Useful iPhone Photography Apps

June 23rd, 2009

With the arrival of the iPhone 3GS, and my jealousy of the improved camera & processing power, I have taken a day or so to try out several new photography apps on my iPhone 3G – I have come to the conclusion that I can’t afford to get one until my current contract is eligible for upgrading in December, so I may as well make the best of what I’ve got! So here is a review of the new apps I’ve tried, along with some stalwart favourites I already use regularly.

I will be reviewing 7 apps – and they are all apps that I would recommend to anyone who takes a lot of photos with their iPhone, as I do. The apps I am reviewing are: AutoStitch, Photogene, NightCamera, Mobile Fotos, Flickit, ShakeItPhoto, and HP iPrint.

iPhone Photography Apps

I already have a fairly good point and click camera – the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 which was a wedding present to James & myself. However, I don’t always have this with me, and if I do it is no doubt sitting at the bottom of my bag. More often than not, I will find myself pulling out my iPhone from my pocket to take the quick snaps of everyday life – the blink & you’ll miss it ‘kodak moments’. As a result, about half of my photos are probably taken with my iPhone.

Warning! This post is very image heavy. Read the rest of this entry »

Cake!!

June 22nd, 2009

I am very proud of myself today because I made a coffee cake all by myself, and it looks great (even if I do say so myself!).

In the past, I have had a slight problem with cakes… The never seemed to rise, at all. So I was half dreading the outcome of my experiment this weekend, after my new cake tins arrived on Friday. Imagine my joy when I pulled the tins out of the oven and the cake looked like cake instead of there being a large biscuit type object lying in each tin. Woohoo! I’m 24 next month, and I finally baked a succesful cake!!

Oh, and I decorated it with sugar flowers and silver balls cos I don’t like walnuts!! I’m so excited to get The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook and bake more treats, I have a feeling I will be unwrapping it in about a months time!
