The newest issue of Wired (June 2012, AKA 20.06) arrived in the mail this weekend and I immediately scoured the “Our Guide to Photography in the Instagram Age” article (this content is so fresh, its not even up on the Wired web site yet but I’ll link to the article as soon as it does).
What I can do though is provide a list of the favorite camera/photography apps featured in the special section that also included some short reviews of various mobile phones based on the quality of their cameras as well as recommendations for higher-end cameras too. So, here goes:
Recommended by Cole Rise who created several of the most frequently used Instagram filters:
- PhotoForge2 ($0.99)
- Average Camera Pro ($0.99)
- Photosynth (Free)
- LensFlare ($0.99)
Recommended by Doctor Popular of Objective Scenes:
- Camera+ ($0.99)
- AntiCrop ($0.99)
- Decim8 ($0.99)
- Filterstorm ($3.99)
And just to throw in my two cents, here are a few of my favorites:
Also mentioned in the article was a company called Taplayer that has created several apps that utilize a Kodak Brownie-like look as well as TtV (through the viewfinder)-style filters.
Go forth and phone-agraph!
While the iPhone, in general, is relatively idiot-proof, there are some nifty features that do require some explanation or reminders that they exist. Appstorm collected 40 such tips that can help you be more efficient and just generally do more with your iPhone. I feel so much smarter!

Just one of several sculptural covers for the iPhone 4/4s from Switch Easy. Makes a statement, wouldn’t you agree?

I’m coming clean here, if you haven’t noticed… I got a new iPhone 4s for the holidays so I’ve been on the hunt for cases, covers, skins and digital decor to embellish it. Typenuts is a good site for typographically-inspired wallpapers. Poolga is also a good option for more illustration and photo-based wallpapers. Go forth and decorate your phone.

The Super 8 app for iPhone was released by Paramount Pictures as a promotional gimmick for the film but over the year it has developed quite a cult following. The app lets you create video in the stylized look of old Super 8 home movies. It looks quite a bit like the video equivalent of Instagram or Hipstamatic. 99¢
Another vintage video option is 8mm Vintage Camera. $1.99
Either option won’t break the bank. And they’re just in time to capture those holiday moments in a dreamy, grainy, bleached, vintage look.
