I´m so behind...my instant Monday series....is this week instant Wedensday...lol..anyway I´m here now, with great info about new apps I LOVE - don´t miss out on these, they are my faves so fare! But first I wanna introduce you to an artist I found via instagram.

jisabel

Find her on instagram and enjoy her creative and beautiful pictures.

The Iphone apps I wanna introduce to you today are great! The first one is CameraSharp which allows you to finally take better photos with your Iphone camera - the quality really becomes better with this app! Your images gets sharper, brighter and you can zoom too. I love it!

The next new app is also fantastic, it´s Phototoaster - I must say that until now it´s my number one favorite Iphone post processing tool.

The PhotoToaster combines all the essential ingredients for photo processing in a single product. It employs fast non-destructive image adjustments and provides three different ways to adjust them. The Toaster can do everything from simple lighting adjustments and color corrections to elaborate multi-layer composite effects. I adore the sliders function - it make it so easy to control the settings!

Technical Specifications:

- sixteen adjustments
- dozens of global and category presets
- numerous border options
- non-destructive editing
- live slider updating
 - save to album, email, sms, facebook and tumblr

That´s all for today - let´s meet on instagram and share som great pics :-) You can find me by looking for @Christinagreve - see you there!

Instant Monday (instagram and Iphoneography)

So what´s new on instagram? In last weeks instagram post someone asked me; "how do I see a collection of my own photos on the instagram Iphone edtion"? And I said; you can´t.... but Instagram just made it possible...yay, so to get this function you need to update your instagram app. When istagram is updated you go to Instagram - profile - your photos! And there you see all your photos - a nice feature if you wanna show friends and family what you have been up to.

I´m so in love with instagram and I enjoy following some great photographers, here is a small selection of some of my favorite pictures uploaded during last week....

They are amazing right! I also wanna give you some Iphone photography tips today as well. The first one is an image editing tool  called PhotoForge, and it is as close to Photoshop as you can get on a mobile phone. With image editing tools never before seen on a phone, it's a must-have for anyone interested in making creative photos on the go.

When you first open the app, you'll be surprised at the wide array of tools thrown your way. Like a desktop-based image manipulation software, you get a photo bucket (for quickly filling areas of the canvas with color), a color picker, a smudge tool, a cropping tool and eight different brushes. Really amazing! Look for this app:

The second tip I got for you today is the app Picframe

PicFrame allows you to join multiple photos into a single frame. Select a frame layout and then pan, zoom, mirror or rotate your images to the perfect position. Using a slider you can adjust the frame in real time, allowing certain images to have a larger space. The size of the border can be scaled and also a color or pattern applied to it. I love this app!



Here is a four of my photos put together with picframe:

And here are some more of my own pictures from last week.....

This one I shoot while driving...sorry..it was very stupid...but I just had to have this picture...

This one is from a cafe down town Aarhus Denmark - I love their burgers and retro interior :-)

Here is a picture of my breakfast...

And a snapshot from my house...Simba walking into the picture :-)

And this one is from a studio in Copenhagen.

That´s all for today darlings - hope you feel inspired to join instagram and have some fun with Iphoneography...see you there, just look for @christinagreve!

xoxo, Christina

New series; Instant Monday (my instagram addiction)

Happy Monday friends

I got a new addiction...I love it! It´s called Instagram and it´s an Iphone app. It´s a camera feature that lets you snap a picture with your phone and then put different layers over it, so if you like to make it look like a retro picture you can or you can keep it untouched. It also has a tilt-shift feature, which is just awesome! The great thing is that instagram is connected to an online community a bit like flickr, so as soon as you snap your photo you upload it to your own personal photo stream in an instant! You can also upload directly to Facebook, twitter, tumblr ect. I decided to use this feature as a way to keep a personal visual diary as I´m no good with writing - it´s perfect for me. And I get to see many great images from around the world...I mean...what´s not to like?

I love instagram so much, that I decided to do a whole new series about it; I call it Instant Monday and big surprise it will be here on the blog every Monday...smile.. In this series I will show you my favorite instagram pictures of the week so you can be inspired and see who to follow if you yourself is on instagram. I´ll also show some of my own photos and give you tips on how to use instagram and how to get better iphone pictures. Instagram has a website and an Ipad edition as well, so you can see the pictures in a larger size or watch as a slideshow. If you like to "meet" me on instagram search for christinagreve or find me here on webstagram.

I can´t believe there is so many great Iphoneographers out there, it´s amazing! I feel very inspired by them. This truly proof that it´s not the camera and equipment that make the photographer - it´s the eye and creative mind of the shooter. If you are on instagram feel free to post your profile name or link in comment area. See you there :-)
