Camera Awesome!

Recently there had been a major update on the Android version of the Camera Awesome app. The new version was definitely much better than the last one.

For the uninitiated, Camera Awesome is the camera replacement app produced by the team behind SmugMug, my main photograph storage in the cloud. One thing about them is they actually have an algorithm in their system which transforms the appearance of our snaps once uploaded to their server. The snaps would be optimised for the LCD screens and the web. The saturation and contrast would definitely be boosted up, giving an extra gloss to our photos.

This special formula is called the "awesomeness", and this app certainly offered plenty of those. Though I must say that they still lagged behind VSCO when it comes to customisation of the photos.

SmugMug had also recently updated their website for free - if you have a paid account with them of course - and this had become my main gallery and depository. With this app, my snaps would be uploaded instantly into my archive, so that I would never have to worry about getting my snaps misplaced as long as I have an internet connection.

And yes, the photo up top had reviewed some awesomeness which is just as well as it was captured in almost darkness. I still needed Camera+ for the borders though.

iPhone 5S snaps slideshow

The snaps was taken on the weekend that I got hold of the phone. I was still familiarising myself with the quirks that came with the iPhone and the snaps may not reflect the true capability of the cameraphone. Anyhow, I found the output satisfactory enough to be shared.

Updating a Pain

I went through my blog entries during my travel and felt that I'd better put everything in a proper link pages. And when doing that, there were gaps and some entries which had yet to be uploaded onto the server.

So, for the last couple of days, I have been frantically uploading those entries as well as uploading the slideshows from my SmugMug site. Those took some doing, and I still got a few which needed sorting up. And then, work got in the way and after getting the calls out of the way, I should have some free time this weekend.

I would need to get all the entries for the Kyoto and Lugano trips in sequence and put them into a neat link page. Hmmmmm ..... Hive me anoyher couple of days.
