iOS Photography App ‘Harris Camera’ – Price Temporarily Dropped
HarrisCamera allows you to recreate the Harris shutter effect to your digital images. To give you a bit of background, the Harris Shutter effect was created by Robert Harris of Kodak. The effect was originally created by re-exposing the same piece of film 3 times through 3 different colored filters while keeping the camera steady. The three colors used were red, blue and green (the colors of the spectrum) and in the areas where no movement takes place, those 3 colors combine to reproduce the original color. With the advent of HarrisCamera for iOS photography the whole thing can be done very simply. HarrisCamera usually retails for $1.99/£1.49 but today…

Pencil FX retails for $1.99/£1.49 and you can download it here “Sketching is the basis of most visual art. Before most painters apply brush to canvas or sculptors touch granite or gears or fashion designers start cutting fabric, they sketch out the idea or rough out the drawing.
