As you may know I have an ipad – and use it regularly. I am even contemplating taking it (and not my MacBook Pro) on my trip to Shanghai next month. Or I might take both…

But I have a new favourite app. You may recall that some time ago, I raved about a brilliant film about New York, but filmed on a still camera with a tilt and shift lens. Tilt and shift photography is quite fashionable at the moment – there are lots of web sites showing fantastic images.

Well, you can now create this effect on your ipad. It costs just £1.79. Details are here.

The photo here is a very average ‘snap’, taken in Plimouth near Boston last September. It is fairly uninspiring – except the central character – a local lad who is quite a good bloke. And a fellow blogger.

It took me less than a minute to ‘create’ the effect. It is really simple to use, it creates a new version, so if it all goes wrong you can start again!

I think this effect is going to appear quite a lot on my blog and in some presentations. I love it!
