Iris

So as I have been posting about different apps, a friend of mine, Everson Marsh (twitter: eversonmarsh) and I were talking about different apps and he mentioned an app called iris. I checked it out and didn't think too much of it, until I saw the pictures it produced. I asked Everson if I could use a few and he graciously let me use these with a description of how he did it. The app produces SUCH good pictures! And more, this is a great example of the quality brought to you by an iPhone 4!

More on the app however, I like the different effects that you can use with it, however, it reminded me a lot of the Photoshop app. The difference between the two is that the photoshop app is free and doesn't have quite the same effects.

The Iris app is more of a photo editing app, like most of the camera apps I have reviewed.

The final thing I like about it is how big the pictures are and they don't pixilate! Amazing!

Wide Angle Lens for the iPhone

Recently, I went onto amazon, broke down, and bought a "GSI Super Quality Detachable Wide Angle Lens" for my iPhone 3GS. I wasn't sure what to expect, but after taking a few shots, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality that came out of my camera.

At first, I wasn't sure what the difference was, but once I played around with it some more, I realized that it was very good

for some close up things, it gave a sweet wide angle feel to something almost right up against the lens that looked absolutely awesome!

The lens came with a case and all together it cost $20 on Amazon, great price I thought! I think it was definitely worth it, I feel a lot more equipped to take good pictures when it is in my pocket.

Downside: Though the Lens comes off, it is still a little bulky in my pocket seeing as how you wouldn't want to take the lens off and leave it anywhere. It also didn't come with a lens cap which is a tad bit annoying, and it doesn't fit in any of my cases anymore. I often

take it off and put my other case on and just grab the new case when I want to go out and take pictures.
