iPhone App: CueuingCam

August 3rd, 2012

This is a fun little app for the iPhone. It’s called QueuingCam. The description on the App Store was a bit vague but it was only $0.99 so I went ahead and bought it. It works like this; the app records one second of video (with audio) each time you press the shutter button. The next (and the next and the next…) time you take a one second video it’ll be added to the already existing “material” so to speak. The video I shot above explains it quite well. I’m hoping for two things in an upcoming release/update; 1. the ability to have more than one project going at the same time. 2. being able to delete the last shot second of video (or possibly having the ability to delete whichever part of the video you’d like). Anyway, I’d recommend this app to a friend (and I have!).

I tried finding an official site for the app but I couldn’t find one.

UPDATE Aug 7, 2012:

One of my gripes have been solved (well, it was there all along). It appears that this button lets you delete the last shot second of video — an “undo button” so to speak. Good to know!

Great Black & Whites On The iPhone

July 10th, 2012


I finally found a way of taking great looking black & white photos on the iPhone 4S. First take your photo with the brand new app Hueless ($1.99), then run that photo through the app Perfectly Clear ($2.99). If you’d like to see a bigger photo go to my Flickr page.

Free Flickr Tools For Upload And Downloads

November 3rd, 2011

No one has ever asked me what particular Flickr tools I use — but I’m going to answer that question anyway. Mind you this is for computers, not smartphones. But, I might as well tell you right away that I use Flickit Pro on the iPhone. It’s the best Flickr tool on the go. The “Pro” part means it costs money, but it’s totally worth it (and it’s cheap). Lets get to the free Mac tools I use for managing photos on Flickr.

I use Flickr Uploadr for uploads from my Mac. It’s got a pretty basic user interface and in this case, it’s a good thing. Adding photos is just a simple drag and drop. Then there’s the option to add titles, descriptions and tags. Not much more to say really — it does what it’s supposed to and it does it well.

Now it’s time for downloads. The tool I use is called Bulkr. There’s a free and a paid version. I use the free one and have never felt the need for the paid version. If you’d like to give the pro version a go it’s just $29.99 at the moment. Instead to describing the software I’ll post a video that’ll do the talking.

That’s about it for this post. All that remains is the important links.
