iPad Photography Apps
I picked up an iPad a few weeks ago and have been exploring its possibilities. I have to say I’m pretty impressed so far. It’s simply amazing for looking at content, and is pretty bloody handy when it comes to creating it as well. There are some awesome apps out there which are great for photographers.
At some point I’ll write something about the apps I’ve been using, but in particular Snapseed and Flickr Studio.
I’ve attached an example of what you can do with Snapseed.
