The world through lenses : VSCO Cam!

I distinctly remember my team leader asking "Do you still have time to write blogs?" To which I answered yes. Then I realized I haven't sat down and write in quite a while - what with juggling an 8 to 5 job (well.. it's actually 8.30 to 5.30 but it's the same nonetheless), classes on weekends (which don't officially start until February) tutoring (which is just once a month) and gym almost every day. 

Like every other average person on the web, I keep up with posts on Facebook and Twitter and what my fellow bloggers write. One day, another blogger shared an app for her iPhone called VSCO Cam. Basically, it is just another photo-editing app, and she just recently found out it was available for free on Apple's Store. Knowing her, she is very very meticulous about the photos she took - and taught me a thing or two about using a DSLR. So I went on Google's Play - I'm on android - and downloaded the app. I fell in love with it instantly. 

So what sets VSCO Cam apart from the likes of Instagram, Pixlr Express, and FxCamera is the focus of the photo-editing app itself. While other apps attempt to enhance and define your photos - especially smoothing the skin, changing the skin-tone, adding effects here and there to accomplish that, VSCO Cam aims to compliment your photos. 

VSCO Cam not only allows you to add effects to your photo's, it gives you the flexibility to fine-tune the effect so that the details that you captured does not get lost. Exposure, Temperature, Contrast, Crop, Rotate, Fade, Vignette and more can be individually controlled and adjusted to fit the look you are trying to accomplish. 

The interface is sleek and simple - no overwhelming nests of menus and options cluttering the screen - no messy buttons to press and no confusing or misleading texts - just simple icons and precision sliders. And if you worry about losing the capability to share you photos on Facebook or Twitter, fret not - these features are also available in VSCO Cam. 

Here are a few shots I edited with VSCO Cam. Enjoy!!
