    AppsApril#9 Wood Camera

    Wood Camera is an odd name for a photography app. Made by Bright Mango (that’s a more appealing name I think!) Anyway this is a simple app, with lots of filters (25++) and subtle changes in effect.  Here are a set of images showing the variations in colours that are possible. Frankly I think these effects can be achieved more effectively and flexibly in other apps reviewed to date – Luminance and CameraFX are just 2 that offer more options and sliders for adjusting effects. The gallery screen is pretty when one systematically loads up a photo with every possible filter used … The Share button only works with single images … mmmm.  That means each image has to be individually shared. There are also options to email, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and DropBox the image. Geotagging is available in the Settings button. If you’re going to use this camera app go straight to the Settings button and turn on ‘Save to Camera Roll’ to save yourself the laborious task of individually saving them there! That’s it for this edition.  Enjoy Wood Camera and hopefully I will see you next time! Thanks for stopping by!

    AppsApril#8 DBCam

    Today I played with DBCam – Double Camera.  have to admit that it took me a bit to work out what it was doing!! Der … Here’s the camera screen IMG_0861 Anyway, the story is … when you click the ‘camera’ button the app takes a shot of both sides of the phone.  Next time you click the camera button it starts when it finished the time before.  So, what I finally worked out is that if i didn’t want to be in every photo (first or second image), I needed to stand to one side. Some clever effects, a novelty app, probably not my ‘top of the pops’!! Some examples … That’s it for today, enjoy DBCam and hopefully I will see you tomorrow! Thanks for coming over!

    Walk for the Animals

    Did a shoot at the 2013 Walk for the Animals … walk-for-the-animals-web-724x1024 A wide range of animal welfare groups banded together to raise funds for campaigns against animal cruelty.  Centred around a walk, there were also a wide range of stalls offering compassionate food, goods and information about causes. Here are a few highlights!

    AppsApril#7 Blacklight

    Today I had a look at the BlackLight app.  If you like neon effects, like to remember the disco lights in our younger days, this app may appeal to you!! IMG_0933   Relatively straight forward, one clicks an image and then uses a slider to decide on the intensity of the blacklight overall, as well as in the red, blue and green channels. Playing with the channels definitely creates some extreme colour shifts. Access to your Camera Roll is seamless.  There are no options for sharing or linking to other apps.  Simple and straight forward.  If you want a fluro or neon effect – this is for you. Here are some examples from my neighbourhood … That’s it for today, enjoy Blacklight and hopefully I will see you tomorrow! Thanks for coming over!!
