This is not Clara!

Jeremy and I were watching Dr Who last night, when we spotted an odd shot. Jenna obviously did not make the filming that day, so the director just used someone else and then the editor just let the scene through!

It did not look like Clara to us and we thought she was a bit tall!

Did they not realise that us and everyone else with a TiVo or Sky box would rewind and freeze frame to spot the substitution!

I really like this new version of Camera+. It is easy to get the right exposure and focus point for the image you are looking to create. The controls are well thought out and available quickly when needed.

And if you miss, then there is always Lightbox and “The Lab” to crop and tweak your images.

I used to use Camera+ a lot but drifted back to the built in camera app, when it changed in iOS 6 and 7. Now with the latest Camera+ I am back to using it as my go to camera on my iphone.

My two top features:

  • Macro setting that really works – see here
  • Wheel control for exposure compensation with live view

… and check out the Clarity feature.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder, leaving us with fifty-button remote controls, digital cameras with hundreds of mysterious features and book-length manuals, and cars with dashboard systems worthy of the space shuttle.
