Technical Tutorial – ProCam Updates – ‘They’re At It Again!’
Procam is proving to be one of those great apps whose developers are constantly working to make it even better. These past couple of weeks has shown this to be true in that they’ve come out with two great updates. I thought I’d put together a quick review of what’s new in this app. We have previously published other great tutorials using this app, if you have missed those, please go here. ProCam retails for $0.99/$0.69 and you can download it here. One of the things they’ve done is to put the Photo and Video settings under separate tabs in the SET menu. This certainly makes life easier…particularly…

First Look Tutorial Of Analog Camera
Realmac Software released its new app this week, Analog Camera, and I was asked to take a quick look at it. So I’ve done just that!! At first look…my first thought was that there’s not much to this app…but that’s being really unfair as the more I used it, the more I was impressed with its simplicity. This is a great app to grab some snaps…apply one of the eight filters…and share it with your peeps. Analog Camera’s interface is designed to help you get into the app quickly, take your shot, use a filter…and share! It also allows the same quick access to your camera roll to do the…

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…

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. While I know of one app that has several of its filters that will do this for you…as long as you’re willing to accept their formatting and effects. 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…

Technical Tutorial – ProCam: Time-Lapse Mode
In this ProCam tutorial I’d like to take a look at a tucked away feature that this great camera app gives its users…and that’s its Time-Lapse Mode. While there any number of apps out there specially designed for time-lapse and/or stop action photography, its great to know that you can do this within the ProCam platform! Time-lapse photography is what is used to capture those great videos of clouds moving, flowers blooming, people and traffic on a busy street. It does take some pre-planning to do but once this is done, the results are pretty amazing. Make sure your iphone is fully charged or close to a power source so…

Xtrafolio – Professional iPad Photo Portfolio Tutorial – Getting Started
I have had this app on my iPad ever since it came out feeling it would give me the presentation tool that I wanted to use with my iPad. And…I will have to admit that I was immediately intimated by its interface and kept putting off using it. So…when The AppWhisperer asked me to do a series of tutorials on this fine app, I agreed realizing that this was what I need to do to “get over it” and start using the power of Xtrafolio. The plan is to give you a tutorial series showing you how to set it up and then dig into all the features that make…

‘Streets Ahead’ – Brand New Women’s Street Photography Column By JQ Gaines and Maddy McCoy
We are incredibly excited to announce that JQ Gaines and Maddy McCoy have joined The App Whisperer with a brand new Column entitled ‘Streets Ahead’. JQ Gaines already contributes to Parallel ll Perspectives with Catherine Restivo but this Column is very different and unique, as indeed they are all. The story behind the creation and concept of ‘Streets Ahead’ is an interesting one. One cold February night in 2013, Maddy McCoy and JQ Gaines found themselves walking up 8th Avenue (in NYC), engaged in an animated conversation that centered around a shared belief that women street photographers are under represented in the mobile photography community. Street photography has long been…
