Top 10 iPhone photography apps

With over 2000 photography applications for iPhone present in the market it becomes very difficult to select the best ones out of the lot.Applications can be primarily categorized in three categories i.e.

Applications for editing photos,Application for sharing photos and Video Applications.Each of these applications is designed to primarily have some unique feature from one of the above three categories,though we have hybrid types applications also in the market but they are still tilted to favour feature from one of the category.Now since most of the applications are tailored for category first that is for editing of photos,so the applications that I have selected in my top ten have a major number of applications coming from this category.So,the top 10 best applications for iPhone in the market are as below:-

1) Hipstamatic

The application is for sure gonna take you into the old days of analog cameras.This application has various software filters by which we can make a image look like as if it's taken from an old fashioned analog camera.The most powerful ability of this application is that it gives you power to change the camera configuration and allows you to take a photograph as per your choice.This is achieved with the help of starter lenses,flashes and film stock that comes with this 2$ application. Some of the other applications which offer similar kind of functionality more or less are Camera Bag and Lo-Mob.Both allow more finer control over the photo manipulation than Hipstamatic in terms of more lenses choice and other features but are slower in comprasion to this,so the fun part of quick snapping is really much more in case of [Hipstamatic].

2)PixelPipe

This is for social networking lovers,it directly supports over 50 social networking sites which include facebook,twitter,youtube etc.The application can directly publish photos,audio,text and files to all of the above online destinations.So its quite a great application for sharing of photographs and can be downloaded freely from the Apple Application Store.The application also supports features like geotagging for publishing on social networks.[PixelPipe].Other useful tools that comes handy for sharing of photographs include Phanfare,Kyte Producer,Twitxr.Most of these applications are free and just include a sign up at their respective application accounts.

3)Night Camera

This 1$ application is a must have for photography lovers to enable them to click a nice shot even in night and low light conditions.This tool checks for the steadiness of the phone before firing up the shutter to have clearer pictures in  nights.But sometimes if your hand is not steady the picture may become blury.The applications makes use of adjustable sensitivity to make sure you get a sharp photo even in low light conditions and once you have taken the photo you can geotag it with GPS and publish it online.A similar application to this in functionality is Darkroom which can be downloaded free of cost from itune store but obviously its not that good as this one is when it comes to comparison. [Night Camera]

4)Photocalc

Now if you are a pro in the field of photography this utility is designed for you to take the photograph in the exact fashion as you want to .The calculations which are difficult to do mentally this utility can do it for you.This utility can calculate depth of field (DoF), exposure reciprocation, and flash exposure.The application also has features like to calculate the time of sunrise based on your location and references to its different section with the help of inbuilt glossary make it easy to use.The application costs around 3$ right now and can be downloaded from the Apple itune Store.[Photocalc]

5)Tiltshiftgen

Its one of the most exciting tools available with iPhone that can be used to focus only on a part of photograph and create beautiful photographs.It is done with the help of special lens which are used for selective focus.It produces miniature like photographs of real life scenes which are manipulated to look like real world photographs.However its not a substitution for exact miniature type photography which requires costly lenses this 2$ application is here to give you all the fun of an expensive application.The application is quote cool and sometimes it produce better results when we focus on one area rather focusing on whole subject.[Tiltshiftgen].

6)Quad Camera

Quad camera is typically the only application which makes it possible to take photograph of a high motion object.It's also known as "toy camera".The application takes 4-8 serial shoots and creates one single image.The interval timing with which these images needs to be separated can also be specified.The tool usually performs good in low light conditions as well.The shots taken can be oriented in a line or two parallel rows.The application costs around 2$.[Quad camera]

7)Photogene

Its the photoshop version of your mobile which allows you to edit photos on the fly.It is more than a basic editing tool having facilities like adding text bubbles,adding frames of different shape and sizes,add special effects such as reflection in addition to basic facilities like cropping,straightening and sharpening.It also allows to set the color adjustment of the picture and tinker with the exposed or unexposed areas of the photograph.A similar functionality category application which is popular is Photoshop.com Mobile developed by Adobe for iPhones. Photo gene is a award winning application and is the largest selling photographic application,currently the cost of photogene is 2$ and is available to download from itune stores.[Photogene]

8)Pano

Pano is a third party application costing around 2.99$ which helps you to take panoramic photographs.The application is worth it's price which is reflected when we take a beautiful panaromic photographic snap using this.The application actually takes 3-4 consecutive photographic and then merge them seamleslly to produce a professional looking panoramic photograph.The other application which provides this functionality is named panorama only but I don't like it much in comparison to [Pano].

9)DSLR Remote

It is nothing but a remote for your Nikon or Canon DSLR Camera.Just connect your camera to a wifi enabled computer and you can control these from your iPhone.You can fire their shutter,view images,start video recording etc.It's used mostly in remote kind of photography but nevertheless its an interesting feature to explore.The tool currently costs around 20$ so buy this only after a lot of consideration only if you are ready to shell out more money on your phone.[DSLR Remote]

10)Still Motion

Its fairly a simple application which allows you to experiment with stop frame animation.You can take a series of images from your phone which can then be played as video using this application.Its much more like Windows Movie Maker in functionality but its very enjoyable one.We can change the frame rate for video and share the video after complete editing online on youtube,email etc.The application is marked at around 2$.[Still Motion]

So these are the some of the best photographic applications available for iPhone in the market today which can truly increase the fun and quality of your photography to next dimensions.However it can't be said with surety that these are the best ones as it depends on one's use and need but I'm sure you are going to agree on most of them at least.
