It's easy to get excited about taking a fantastic shot of a subject, whether it be scenery, animal or human. When you see that certain "wow" factor appear in front of your eyes, it's time to grab your phone, point and shoot. In my case, 7 times out of 10 I get a blurry shot or half of the intended subject which causes me untold frustration!

Use this unique photography and video, still photo capture iPhone app to do loads of tasks that make you appear a professional photographer! Check out a host of innovative features shown below:

Tapping this button will display a realistic camera viewfinder where you will select items such as camera or video, front or rear-facing camera, timer, flash mode, zoom and photo library. I snapped a pic of my dogs which appeared clear as a bell, cropped out the messy room stuff, then added a frame, speech bubble and texture to my photo. Finally, I inserted it into the Woof magazine template then sent it off to share with everybody I know!

Your still shots and videos will be placed in the File Manager so you can view and edit them at any time.

Moving on to other good stuff found in Pocket Snapper, how about the awesome feature of capturing still images from videos you've captured? That is one feature, I have used time and again. Group shots of friends at gatherings are somewhat blurry because I always seem to miss the perfect "snap" moment. However, I've discovered that once I've snapped a video, I can then break it down into the best still shots of each friend so that no-one can complain about their appearance! Yes, this is truly a handy dandy feature, and I've been able to brag about my terrific sport action shots!



Along these same lines, you can capture still shots from pre-installed videos of professional model shoots when you use iModel mode. There are some pretty impressive models (2 female and 1 male) included, and you'll find 2 videos of each to play with and create some stunning still shots of a realistic photo shoot.

Finally, Snap Life mode is a great way of showing off your talents. Set up using your various ID's to share on Flickr, Facebook or Kdan Mobile. Check the Gallery of creative photos already produced, and see what your friends have put together with their snapshots.

Take time to explore the many features of Pocket Snapper, as well as to check out the User Guide to watch helpful demo videos and instructions on how to make the most of your photographic and video capture efforts. There's a whole world of beautiful people, objects, scenery and more just waiting for you to capture and showcase them in your own creative way!
