Mobile Movies Showcase – Week 38 – by Donna Donato
Welcome back to the thirty-eighth article in the column, Mobile Movies. We at TheAppWhisperer have been inspired by the Flickr upgrade of 1 Terabyte of storage for everyone and have wanted to launch a mobile movie section for some time.

This led him to experiment with photography in all kinds of ways and took him all around the world, until he eventually took it on full-time. The underwater shoot idea took place whilst he was on holiday with his family in Bali. He had obtained a diving certificate and thought he…
Top Mobile Photography Tips for Taking Photos of this Weekend’s ‘Supermoon’
With this Sunday seeing the summer’s second ‘supermoon’ illuminate the sky plus an annual meteor shower expected to make an appearance, amateur stargazers are in for a real treat. Sunday’s moon will be the biggest and brightest of 2014 making it the perfect opportunity to update your albums with photos that are truly out of his world. The scientific name for a “supermoon” is a perigee moon, perigee meaning “closest point to earth”.

Over to you Jerry (foreword by Joanne Carter). “Here’s something I bet you didn’t know: I take requests here on my blog. So when I created the image you’ll see below and posted it on the iColorama Facebook page, a user named Chris Harbinson asked, “Pretty please could you describe how you achieved what you did here?” When looking at the steps taken, I realized it would be better as a video tutorial than my standard screenshots-and-text entry. So here is how I created “Limitless Horizon”…
