CCC Part 8: iphone fun
Uh oh…I’ve discovered yet another way to waste hours of my life. I have such a talent for unearthing time robbers; if only such a skill had a commercial use. Instead all I can do is shrug my shoulders, embrace the robber and then pass it on to you guys…although you will be spared if you don’t have an iphone.
I’ve become an avid reader of the iphoneography blog which is a MUST READ for iphone snappers. Today I found and downloaded several cool applications but I’m immediately smitten with FotoMuse. Such fun for transforming photos in to ‘artworks’ with contrast adjustments in colour and black & white, borders and textures. So this cafe scene, which I snapped in the City early one morning thinking it looked kind of moody… but I was disappointed with how it turned out:
turned in to this, which is probably trying a bit hard but it’s a huge improvement:
And this, Julochka’s Rolleiflex snapped at Bee’s house at Blog Camp 1.5, which wasn’t particularly well composed, focused or lit (um, so rubbish then):
turned in to this which, again, is probably ‘too much’ but quite fun?
I’ve had a LOT of fun messing with FotoMuse today. Mind you, the rest of my day’s highlights included cleaning my oven and the windows so it didn’t take much. But if you fancy trying something different and need a time robber in your life (and can bear the $2.99 price tag) get FotoMuse!
Also, news just in…I’m over Camerabag. I’m now in love with Chase Jarvis’ Best Camera application. LOVE IT. I’m also flirting outrageously with EffectsLab but have nothing very useful to say about it. So I’ll shut up.
going to get fotomuse and best camera immediately. tho’ i do love the lomo setting on camerabag. they all have their purposes
Thank goodness I don’t have an iphone! Great applications – very effective.
snigger. i have the chase one but am not so in love with the iphone camera…
you too? I thought I was the only working mum on earth constantly surrounded by time robbers….
