    AppsApril#6 Shake-it-Photo

    Shake-it-Photo is a cute novelty app.  It emulates a Polaroid camera – sounding like one, requiring that one dry off  the image (have to shake the phone to develop the image, just like you may wave the polaroid to dry it) and looking authentically ‘polaroid’ once developed. IMG_0928   The camera is straight forward to use – offering the usual camera icon for the snap, flash on/off and the option to take a self portrait if required. Out of ‘shoot mode’ there is an option to ‘share’ with faceBook or email or to access your camera roll to take in photos to ‘shake’. Here’s an example of one re-worked … IMG_0706   Here is a set taken out for my usual morning walk with Ruby …
      Not the most exciting or flexible app reviewed to date, but certainly novel and quick and easy fun.  Give it a go! That’s it for today, enjoy Shake-it-Photo and hopefully I will see you tomorrow! Thanks for coming over!!

    AppsApril#5 Camera FX

    Yep – fell in love with this app. first use and WOW!!  A gem!
    Three simple options on the opening screen – library, camera and settings (where there is the option for high resolution – oops, just found that! As well as FaceBook and Twitter connections).  Nice big, clear DONE button at the top of the screen. Love the Gallery button – cute display, pictures hanging on a peg over the developing tray!!
    Once in the camera, one can turn the flash on/off, select a photo from the library or take a shot. There are then 20 filter effects fo choose from – all interesting, easy to use on a slider and able to be adjusted for contrast, enhancement, framing and rotation. Just terrific!!  Here’s my first samples …
    That’s it for today, enjoy CameraFX and hopefully I will see you tomorrow! Thanks for coming over!

    AppsApril#1 = Instagram ++

    So welcome to the first AppsApril app, Instagram.  An obvious place to start I know, but I did wonder if people knew about all the extra Insta..apps that are available.

    Here’s a screen shot of my Instagram folder …

    I have used Instagram extensively at times – KarenClicks is my tag if you’re interested.

    Last year at the Australian Primary Principals Association national conference Master School Portraits ran an Instagram competition for the best ‘essence of conference’ image.

    I won an iPad with this one …

    Pretty chuffed I was!!!! Leaders outside the Melbourne Convention Centre, enjoying the sunshine.

    I enjoyed this one ‘Networking’ too …

    Anyway – back to Instagram – there are various collage and frames apps.  Here’s an example of using the Collage app …

    It comes with a range of shapes, frames and options.

    A new addition to my Instagram family is the Travelgram app.  This one tags images in locations and allows you to collect and group images around different locations, ideal for travelling obviously!! I plan to give it a go on my next vacations – Normanville, Banrock Station, Sydney to see the Dalai Lama and of course my 2 year posting to the British International School in Phuket!!

    The last news for today is that there is also a My Followers app that tracks activity on Instagram.  It will tell you who is following you, who you are following, what the reciprocal relationships are, if anyone has blocked you, who your fans are and who comments the most.  Interesting data process.  Bit like being able to check out your stats in FaceBook!

    That’s it for today, enjoy Instagram and hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow!! Thanks for coming over!!
