KitCam - one of my most used photography apps



KitCam is a photography app I find myself using constantly. It allows you to take the picture with whatever setting you wish and then adjust the settings later. This view of Oak Park below was taken using it.

As you set up the picture determine where you want the camera to focus, touch it and a small blinking box will use that area to determine correct settings and focus. Here I focused the box on the flowers in the foreground.




A variety of lenses

KitCam has a total of 16 lenses available, some standard, a few for an additional cost. They include 

  • Vignette
  • Blowout
  • Accent
  • Line Tilt
  • Oval Tilt
  • Pinhole
  • Dreamer
  • Olga
  • Bonne Nuit
  • Agno
  • Kurt
  • Split
  • DeCarlo
  • Fisheye
  • Kaleidoscope
  • 3D


Although I haven't bought 3D glasses to check
this, you might try it.


The same picture of the flower was made into a kaleidoscope image.

A Whole Group of Films

The app includes a possibility of 32 film choices, including:
 
  • Color Vibe (which I use the most). It makes the colors really pop.
  • Iced Tea
  • Instant '23
  • Douglas Fir
  • Brooklyn
  • Lunar
  • Antique
  • Coral
  • Bromine
  • Louisiana
  • Purple Haze
  • Latte
  • Bleached
  • Dublin
  • Red Scale
  • Oslo
  • Prairie
  • Newsprint
  • Rorschach
  • Sepia
  • Super Fade
  • Lomochrome
  • Honey Bee
  • Midnight
  • Deadwood
  • Denim
  • GB Xr3
  • GB Theta
  • GB KC5
  • Summer '57
  • Mono '51
  • Technicolor


Here is the shot changed to Newsprint film.
With the frame icon, you can adjust the type of frame you want around the finished picture.

Adjustments of all kinds


At the bottom is are tools to (1) enhance the picture, (2) crop it, (3) change the lens and film settings, and when (4) is pushed, you can adjust the contrast and select the light source as seen above.If you use Instagram, you might want to crop your picture to a square image. You can do it with the second icon.


Going into the CAM settings you can adjust (1) Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation; (2) Color Balance, (3) Levels, (4) Sharpen

The edited and finished photograph.

Once you try this app, you may never use the standard camera on the iPhone again. The pictures can be transferred to your Camera Roll and easily uploaded or sent.

Download the app at kitcamapp.com. Try it and post a couple of results here for us to see.
