My Top 2 Most Used iPhone Apps

While out this weekend snapping photos and editing away on my phone my friends kept asking how I got my pictures to look so cool from the camera. It’s a question that I’m always asked when posting images on my social networking sites as well so I’ve decided to share how I get these images to look the way they do and my 2 most used iPhone photography apps that help me in the process.  The great thing about these apps is that anyone can have fun creating unique images and you don’t need to be a professional photographer to do so (though having a creative eye helps).

Instagram
This is my all time favorite app that I use. I would say I actually have an Instagram addiction. It has a ton of great filters to make any photo have unique vintage affects. What I also love about it is the ability to upload your images directly from the app to your social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and its own community where your friends can follow you and vice versa. Also if you have an account you can follow me at careyhess

Camera+
For most of my image editing this is the app use. With features like multiple white balance settings, cropping and tons of filters that you can adjust settings, it’s very easy app to create great looking images. You can also use it to take pictures with a nice zoom and image stabilizer that is an added plus if you don’t want to use your camera app with its limitations.
