Nice article here for photography lovers about the Camera+ app.

Changing Light Meter on the iPhone with Camera+
Camera+ is currently my favorite camera/photo apps and this is aspect of it is so amazing. Check out this great article by Iancu Barbarasa.
According to OK Cupid.com, you might want to think about which camera you’re using before you decide what becomes your next profile picture.
After getting 11.4 million opinions, the dating site found that the better the camera - the better you look.
While most point and shoot, professional cameras fared well in their study, only three cell phone cameras can make you look hot: Sidekick, Apple iPhone, and Sony Ericsson.
Scoring in their bottom three, these devices can capture your not-so-sexy side: Motorola, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry.
Looks like you might want to invest in a new iPhone or … a Sidekick?
With a front-facing camera, the iPhone 4 is pretty much the perfect device for the self-photo-loving users of DailyBooth.
L.A. Times printing equipment photo for your phone’s wallpaper
Our very own Lori Kozlowski shot this at our newspaper printing facility. Cool shot, and it’s my new iPhone wallpaper. As Kozlowski says, it looks like “some spacey tanning bed.”

Whether it’s stitching several photos together, or finding artistic ways to arrange photos on top of each other, iPhone users are increasingly adding layered twists to their photos.
The Project 365 app allows you to take a picture for every day of the year. The interface looks like a little calendar and you can fill up each calendar day with a photo you took for each day of the week.
Makes a cute calendar-like collage and helps you to remember what you are spending your life doing.

Hipstamatic rush hour
On our way home last night, we decided to snap a few shots with the Hisptamatic app everyone seems to love. Not bad. If you drive the freeways in L.A., you know there are lots of items of interest to take pictures of, as you sit in traffic — street art, strange bumper stickers, your fellow drivers.

The developer of the Hipstamatic vintage photo app for the iPhone (yes, we love this thing) is gearing up for its next software release. SwankoLab puts you into the darkroom, allowing you to experiment with virtual chemicals and pulleys to tweak your shots.
Our resident photographer, who lives Hipstamatic, isn’t too impressed with the concept. We’ll reserve judgement until it’s out early next month.
