New iPhone Photo App: Camera Flash

Camera Flash adds a software-based camera flash effect to iPhone camera. Unlike a small physical camera flash, Camera Flash app has unlimited effective range; and it does not drain the battery.

With one click, you can improve the exposure in low-light conditions; or, add fill-in flash to shadows. Just start up the app by taking a photo; the software will automatically detect the level and type of flash needed; and apply the effect to your photo immediately. With minimal effort, your photo will look brighter, show more vivid colors and contain more details.

Camera Flash is based on an innovative technology that intelligently lightened up each pixel to an individually differentiated level. Even if the entire photo is lightened up, the details in highlight are not blown out. Thus the technology is more effective than global methods such as levels, curves, fill light, or exposure adjustment.

New iPods will bring a new breed of iPhoneographers

As September gets nearer, the rumour mill jungle drums begin to beat, with news of the next generation iPods.

As reported by us way back on the 4th of June it is expected that the next generation iPod Touch and iPod Nano will incorporate a digital camera. It is expected that the Nano will just have a basic camera to accompany the built-in photo viewer, whilst the iPod Touch will adopt the iPhone's camera and features.

If these rumours are true, and I am sure they are, then this will open up iPhoneography to a whole new audience.
