The photo above is processed with the Best Camera app. I wrote a blog post about that particular app a while ago.

I’d like to add two other apps. I absolutely love SwankoLab and, to a lesser extent, Hipstamatic.

Swankolab

Swankolab is pretty much a digital darkroom. You can mix chemicals and create recipes. The results are absolutely amazing, and the interface is very intuitive. My favourite recipe is using SwankoDev H1N and Larry’s Developer. In that order. Larry’s Developer is an additional, in-app purchase. Be sure to export full-resolution images. It does take a bit longer to process, but it’s worth it. I’ve had to re-create some photos a while ago, because I exported them on a lower resolution and I needed them in a larger resolution.

Hipstamatic

Hipstamatic is an app that simulates different analog lenses, film and flash guns. The down side of this app, is that you’re forced to make a photo by using the app itself. I like to make a photograph by using the normal camera app, so I can decide afterwards which application I would like to use for the post processing.

Flower Power - Made with Hipstamatic. Can't recall the exact settings. Oh, and sharpness is overrated ;)

To be honest, the several cool camera apps available for the iPhone are one of the reasons I won’t buy something like an Android. I can get a new phone in September, and it will definitely be an iPhone 4. Even though it has its flaws.

What are your favourite photography related iPhone apps?

I’m finished school for this year! Well, actually, school is out forever! When this holiday is over (at the end of August), I’m starting my internship that takes five months. I’ll be busy writing my thesis after the internship, so I will barely be on the inside of the school building any more. Only one more year. Hooray!

The last six months were great. Busy, but great. To be honest, I didn’t think I would learn a lot, since I knew I would probably have more experience with stuff (especially photography) than my classmates. But that wasn’t really an issue. I focussed on myself and achieving my own goals. It paid off and learned a lot in the end.

The photo above is one of the photos I took of classmate Marjolein. She persuaded our photography teacher to let us use his studio at the end of the minor to make some photographs. Being a nice guy as he is, he cooperated immediately :)

More after the jump!

My favourite is this one below. Too bad it’s super out of focus (her front foot is sharp, the rest isn’t). I’m not quite used yet to my new 85mm f1.8 lens. I shot this on f5.6, which has a too shallow depth of field for this kind of stuff. It was also pretty difficult to focus correctly, since she moved her entire body. Ah well, it’s all a learning experience right?

Here are two more. I hope you like them. And if you don’t, well, tough luck. ‘Cause I do! :p

Thanks for being such a great victim, Mayo! ;)
