app-tastic

So I've been playing with apps on my phone - all free from the android market mind you - and thought I would share some of my faves! Firstly, Roidizer. This app takes photos, and the turns them into polaroids that you can tag and save. I found ou about this from Trina who had an iPhone app that did the same thing. What's cool is that you can use existing photos and polarise them. The app gives the photos a retroey feel similar to FXCamera's Toycam editor... here's a few pics I prepared earlier :)


I made this cake the other day - and it was pretty nice. Almost like a giant muffin, packed with apples and had a great crust on top that was just delish straight out of the oven! But I digress...

Second app is one I have been using for a while now, and it's the previously mentioned FX Camera. This has got to be one of my favourites. I downloaded this after my bro showed me what it could do. I absolutely love love LOVE the Toy Cam editor. Similar, to the roidizer, it gives the photos a darkened-round-the-edges retro feel. There is also a Polaroid-esque editor which in my opinion makes the photos look more like polaroids than the roidiser - but because they kinda have theat faded polaroid effect, the end product doesn't look as nice as the roidiser (which tends to saturate the colours). The other features are FishEye, Symmetricam (mirror images everything) and Warhol (psychadelic four-coloured reproduction).

So much fun with the phone! Will leave it here for now. Next time round - 360camera!
