This is the first iPhone app that I’ve been really excited about using. It takes standard iphone pictures and gives them a simple crop and color wash making them into instant polaroids. You even have to shake the phone to get the photo to develop, which eventually turns out to be kind of annoying if you’re wanting to take a lot of pictures, but maybe someday they will release an ironic quick shooting polaroid app. At $.99 it’s a great deal. Get it here.
The app is by GreyScaleGorilla – a great site for AfterEffects tutorials, and general goodness.
