I’ve been waiting for a good iPhone camera app. Some of the better ones are CameraBag, QuadCamera and Polarize but none of them are as good as “The Best Camera” app. On first sight, you might notice that the name is quite ridiculous, but there’s a perfect explanation for that. The app has been made by professional photographer Chase Jarvis and the iPhone developers at Übermind. The app got it’s name from Chases’ book: “The Best Camera is The One That’s With You“.
In all good iPhone camera apps, you can add an effect to a photo and publish it to some social network sites. The Best Camera is not different, except for it’s features, you can:
- add effects and easily enable/disable them again (some of the effects: light, dark, fade, contrast, desaturate, vignette, …)
- reorganize them (for example: to change it to black/white first and then add contrast instead of the other way around)
- easily share them to facebook, twitter or thebestcamera.com by enabling check boxes
- set the color mood (warm/cool)
- add some premade preset effects (jewel, paris, candy, slate)
- frame the picture with a white border or make it square
This app is going to change the mood of the iPhone photos I’m sharing on twitpic, yfrog, facebook and flickr. (via)
Phillip Toledano tells the story about his father. It’s a story that grabbed me by the throat. The pictures are really nice and the story is beautiful and heart breaking at the same time. Site by fbuddha.
Beautiful portrait of a brilliant piano player. A fave!
Not many posts lately because it’s summer, everyone is on vacation and so do I once and a while. Last weekend: Germany. Actually, I thought that Germany wasn’t my cup of tea but it turned out quite different. Koblenz and most of all Cologne are two nice cities. Cologne is definitely the place to be when it comes to shopping! Everywhere: loads of Apple retailers, Muji shop, Tashen shops, Diesel, many, many H&M stores, Crumpler, a couple Fossil stores, etc… practically any shop you can imagine, it’s there! Have a look at the pictures here. It was nice!
I went to Le Crotoy (France) this weekend to relax and take some pictures. Le Crotoy is a quiet, beautiful town on the West-Coast of France. It’s on the North-side of a very special bay that changes with the tides. You can walk from one side to the other during the ebb tide (with a guide), but make sure to get out on high water :) Compare the satellite images and map on Google and check out my pictures on flickr.
If you’re going some day, let me know if you see this man too ;)
