Technical Tutorial – ProCam: Night Mode
Recent updates to ProCam added its “ISO Boost” feature which when activated, will up the iPhone5’s maximum ISO from 800 to 3200. This is really helpful when shooting in low light environments. A real bonus with this app is its “Night Mode”! This allows you to reduce the shutter speed…and so more light is captured by your iPhone 5’s camera sensor. Using this with the “ISO Boost” gives you a lot more possibilities!! We have recently published some excellent technical tutorials to help you get the most from ProCam, to read those, go here. ProCam retails for $0.99/£0.69 and you can download it here. Let’s take a look…

Streetmate – Updated!
Streetmate has just received a huge update, straight from the Press Release: ‘Streetmate is for ones who love shooting photos and making stories using camera rather than snapping random objects and then constantly tweak it until it subject inside gets unrecognizable. We believe that Streetmate will bring back photographic experience to people who enjoy making photos most of all. > In the early days Robert Capa would grab his Leica camera with 36 exposure film and think twice before shooting each photo. As a result he made some photographic masterpieces without editing and selecting favorites from three hundred photos. Think about it—masterpieces from 36 film roll without editing them even once.…

Mobile Photography Tutorial – Using Layover and Diptic To Create A Composite Image
I’ve recently noticed that a number of the digital artists are creating some wonderful composite images using different frame-within-a-frame techniques. Seeing these images got me inspired to give this a try.

Instead of using this app, I decided to use Diptic and Layover to create my own composite image. If you haven’t tried Diptic or Layover yet, you can download them here: Diptic/$0.99/£0.69/download Layover/$0.99/£0.69/download Since I like challenges I also decided to use just one source image…and one that in…
