apps+tricks+stuff 4 iphoneography

since its not only a camera, iphone is the best camera you can carry around all the time which is great to capture anything instantly. so it has to be super-fast.

i myself got over 3000 photos on my iphone with 165 applications. so sometimes starting camera could take more than 1-2 secs. to fix that, i have found an application called "snappy". unfortunately its on cydia which means you can only get this application on a jailbroken iphone.


snappy basically launches camera super fast which means that aperture animation of iphone camera goes away almost instantly. you can simply have the camera ready in 0.5 secs. plus you can set shortcuts for it via activator (which is also an essential jailbreak app) like launching snappy holding down vol button or holding down status bar, taking photos by pressing vol buttons, these kinds of shortcuts. it also works on ios5, tho works on ios4+ better.



oh btw you can launch the snappy from anywhere even while using an application.

my photo app folder
you got an iphone, then you know what instagram is. keep reading so you can learn about few apps which will improve your photo experience on iphone.

there are loads of apps to improve, edit, manipulate photos on iphone. most of them are waste of money&time, and useless since most of better apps works as "all in one" and few of them are great. these are the apps im using for editing shots. i will mention some apps i mostly use.



----------------------

first of all, a rotating & cropping tool is a must for an instagram user. im using an app called "IGCropRotate" found it on an instagram users profile page. frankly can't remember that guy's name (thank you tho). anyway its quite simple, helps you to rotate and crop photos and opens it directly on instagram so you can upload it easily.



also you can upload your non-square photos with white borders on instagram without sacrificing any part of your photo.


----------------------

this app is great. its like a small photoshop where you can remove stuff you don't want in your photo and works like clone tool of photoshop. you gotta watch the video!





----------------------






this app will help you to create some DOF on your photo. kinda faking big sensors dof effect. you should watch the video.

----------------------


and ofcourse camera+ its a must have.
lots of awesome effects you can use including most common ones like lomo, bw, sephia and stuff.

camera+ ss

and most stupid yet most useful tripod i made for my iphone. very useful for taking 3+ shots to make hdr's. also helps while using cinemagram and stopmotion. will explain them later.
