Instagram may now be owned by Facebook, but the purchase hasn't stopped the team behind the famed photo-sharing app from developing a series of spin-off utilities. As well as the recent release of the Snapchat-like Bolt, which launched late last month across a few select markets, the Instagram development team has now come through with Hyperlapse, a time-lapse app designed specifically for those in ownership of the Apple iPhone and iPad. Check out the screenshots, details and download link after the break.
If you've a concert-goer, then you're no doubt already acutely aware of one problem that has cropped up over the last ten years or so. In fact, we'd say it's only really come to our attention since the iPhone arrived in 2007.
The App Store is continually inundated with new photo and video-related apps for wannabe photographers and videographers to sink their teeth into, and although each and every one purports to greatly enhance the point-and-shoot credentials of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, it's fair to say that you have to put in work to find the real gems. The app we're featuring today is somewhat unique in what it attempts to do, and by helping you find the perfect shot by scanning your short clips, will perceivably save you some time when trying to achieve the elusive Kodak Moment.
Given the sheer volume of camera and photography-centric apps available throughout the App Store, finding those proverbial diamonds in the rough can be a tricky task. But the app we're featuring here today is not only one of the better offerings currently knocking about for those on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but also - for a very limited time - has shaken off its usual price tag and can be snapped up free of charge.
Independently of the forthcoming Android 4.4.3 update, which should begin to trickle out to the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 in the very near future, Google plans to add some useful new features to the native camera app of its mobile operating system. According to a newly emerged report, the standalone app will be given a complete makeover, delivering a revamped UI, improved panorama and more.
Powerful DSLR cameras are still the kit of choice for professionals and serious photography enthusiasts, but for the most part, the majority of us can make do with the quality of photos that our mobile device affords us. Each manufacturer implements its own method of capturing a photo. It could be through a hardware button or a virtual key on the screen within the native camera app, but what if iOS users could capture a photo by utilizing the built-in proximity sensor? Thanks to the ProximityCam tweak, that's now possible.
When Apple announced iOS 7 last year it made a big fuss out of the considerable changes that the new version would bring to our iPhones,iPads and iPod touches. A whole new interface, a redesigned Camera app and more were touted as some of the biggest changes, with countless others thrown in for good measure. Over the months since and as the release day drew closer, some features fell by the wayside and others were introduced. In September, iOS 7 was released.
Although the improvements made to smartphone cameras over the last few years has enabled anyone and everyone to try their hand at becoming a photographer / director, this wealth of technology in the hands of amateurs can, and often does, produce disastrous results.
Nokia, which was recently subject to an acquisition by close partner Microsoft, has struggled in the smartphone industry since the iPhone came into play, but while lackluster sales are largely attributable to the Windows Phone ecosystem, there's no question that the devices themselves - particularly the cameras - are of the highest order. DPReview has pitted the revered 41-megapixel sensor of the Lumia 1020 and the 8-megapixel rear-facing snapper of the iPhone 5s against some of its favorite DSLRs, and aside from other findings, determined that the Nokia camera is more than just a little bit better than that of its rival. In fact, it's far, far superior.
With cameras in smartphones having improved greatly over the past few years, vendors have been finding it increasingly difficult to impress the shot-taking ability of each new release. However, the iPhone 5 released back in 2012 tried to enhance things with a new rear-facing camera that performed better in low-light conditions, and as we continue to seek ways to enjoy clearer snaps in dark places, a new app by the name of Night Vision will help those on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to capture video and take photographs after the sun has gone down.
