From pin-hole camera to huge camera with external flash to sleek 10 MP
or even higher camera in your mobile!!! The days (and of course nights!!!) have changed. Today you do not need to have a separate camera, since
camera is now an integral part of a phone, so much so that the camera
resolution has become one of the parameters on which the choice of mobile phone
is made!!!
Keeping in sync with the requirement, there are zillions of apps that
you can use. Following is a list of Free apps that you can use. This is just a representative list and probably these are the most downloaded apps.
Instagram is a free photo sharing program that allows
users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a
variety of social networking services, including Instagram's own. A distinctive
feature confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid
images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device
cameras.
It
has many filters that you can choose from and unlike many other apps here you
can add effects choose a filter of your liking while you are snapping a
picture.
Instagram is iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch; and also on Android camera
phones running on 2.2 (Froyo) or higher. It is distributed via the iTunes App
Store and Google Play.
