We all now have these powerful phones and I must admit, they take great pics and can do amazing things. I am always curious about photo apps and found one super cool one the other day! It just came out and is called WordFoto. It can take your pics and add words and create super cool art! In playing with it for a day or so…I have noticed that close up shots work best. Some feature highlights:
– Fast and fully automated word filling algorithm.
– Manual word filling fine tune parameters.
– Inspect detail in zoomable preview.
– Eight unique preset styles.
– User defined custom styles with lots of parameters.
– Import images from photo album or camera.
– Crop editor.
– Manage and create your own word sets.
– Resulting word images are full resolution.
– Save, email or share on Facebook.
– Save original and cropped original.
If you are creative…a must buy. Cost is $1.99. Available now in iTunes and Andriod will be TBD. WordFoto gets 8 out of 10 from me!

REVIEWS: 100 Cameras in 1 / Instagram
With the advent of better cameras on on mobile devices, photo apps are key! I am amazed at the pics my IPhone takes. Not sure it will ever replace my DSLR, but still great for easy walk on by type pics!
I have an IPhone and IPad and truly love my friend Trey Ratcliff’s app called “100 Cameras in 1“. I just have the IPhone version and do have an IPad…but not IPad 2 with the camera. The phone version is so cool! IPad 2 version is also available. I love textures and this app will give you some great effects on your phone pics! Trey has come up with some cool names and sweet effects. Your pics become instant art! So many choices to choose from. Check out the link here “review” to get all the details you want. For $0.99 on your phone…thats tough to beat!! Kudos Trey!!
After I create art with Trey’s app…I have found a cool up and coming photo app site called “Instagram” (thanks to Leo Laporte and Sarah Lane). Its free and very cool. Kinda like a Flickr for your phone without the “Awards” and “Bling” that makes Flickr kinda blah to me. When you add or take a pic…you can also make a simple color/effect change to it in the app. Download and you are off!
You can find me at “Talkephotography”. You can add friends and follow others. But what is cool about the pics is that they are phone versions (or at least most of them). I take some phone pics and they are basically my everyday views. A different style for me. Fun to post em! So my flow is take a pic…use 100 Cameras in 1 then add it into Instagram. Here are a few of my recent posts below.
For those camera phone photographers…go have fun! I know I do!!
Review: LightTrac (app for IPad)
About a month ago I told you about a great app for the iPhone/iPad called “The Photographers Ephemeris”. This app gives you the suns location outdoors. Perfect for planning photo shoots! I found another similar, and possibly slightly better app. This is called LightTrac. It just arrived onto iTunes and if you go quickly…it is only $0.99!!! Great price! I downloaded it yesterday and it works great! I love the slider at the bottom of the screen that allows you to change the time of day. The angle of the the sun rotates with your selection! I’d give it a 10 out of 10!! Kudos LightTrac!!
