Black and White

I have a handful of photo apps on my iPhone: Camera Bag, Quad Camera, Polarize, Sepia Camera, Photogene, Camera Zoom, Color Splash, and Toy Camera. Not only does the iPhone inspire me to snap away, it provides fun tools to do so. Toy Camera is the latest download, and I'm still working out the best way to use all of its options. It has several modes, including vintage green, vintage warm, and vintage yellow. The sample photos that are included in the settings showcase how you can use this and to what effect. While I have used the vintage settings, I haven't yet taken a photo that really rocks as a result. For black and white, Toy Camera allows either rich or high contrast, and it also provides an option for either low or high saturation. Here are a few of the recent black and white shots:
