New Thing #326: Big Lens
It's been a while since I used one of those Starbucks free app 'Pick of the Week' cards. Truth be told, it's been a while since I had even been to a Starbucks…or one that had the cards at the shop.
But this one caught my eye this week - it's a camera app.
I haven't fully explored it, but it does some photo touching up.
And if that's not a New Thing…I don't know what is.
Here's the deal - I pretty much exclusively use the regular camera on my phone.
I have another camera app that's supposed to take better pictures, but I never think to use it.
I also have Instagram, but I think I've only taken one picture ever on my Instagram account, if I'm remembering right.
So it seems like a photo app is a good one for getting me to try something new.
It's one of those apps that lets you focus in on a certain part of a picture - the part that you want comes into focus while the surrounding area looks blurry…it's somewhat artsy.
(The example you see at the right is a picture I took and then touched up of my computer screen while I was writing this entry. Meta, huh?)
So that's my new app.
You'd better stand right next to me in the middle of all of my pictures from now on, or else you'll be blurred right the heck out.
Ah. Who are we kidding.
I'll probably never use this app again.
