Nick Vegas of Greyscale Gorilla wants to go fast.
I wasn’t sure what to think of BananaCam when I first opened the app on my iPhone 4. Then when I went to the website to understand his philosophy behind the app, I understood its purpose. Edit photos easily, fast, and sharing is just the same fashion. I’ll be honest. I like what you are doing Nick. It can only get better from here.
Screenshots of my experience with it.
What I love about it.
I love it’s simplicity. Easy buttons, easy menus, just all around minimal and to the point. I dig it. It also looks cool that way. I also love that you can make your photos square or full using the menu options. If you are a user of publishing apps that use square images, then this would rock for you. Nick likes to call this MakeSquare. If not, you still can shoot full frame in the app. I think thats pretty darn cool. It just makes things easy. I love the selection of black and white filters as well. (I’m a sucker for those.)
Saving was pretty darn fast too. I like that. A lot.
What I didn’t like.
Well being that I love to tweak my images I wish it had more options when editing the photos, but that defeats the purpose of the app. So I can’t really complain about that. I did have an issue trying to post to twitter, but that is only because I don’t use the regular twitter app, I use a third party one.
Some of the filters I didn’t find to applicable or noticeable enough, but they were still doing changes to the photos. There were filters that totally rocked though. Filters are filters and its all personal preference when it comes to that.
My favorite filters.
I fell in love with filter number four and filter number eight. Four seems to pull the green channel forward in the image and eight seems to add the compress the shadows to a lovely grey that I just love in black and white images.
