Fun with Apple’s Photo Booth’s Kaleidoscope Effect
This photo is of a back porch in the woods taken thru a sliding glass door located in front of a pattern rug.
There are so many cool apps on the iPhone and iPad but one of my favorites is Photo Booth. (Please see more photos and text below)
I loved playing with kaleidoscopes when I was a kid. One of the many effects Photo Booth employs can turn yours iPad into a kaleidoscope.
I shot these four frames last summer using the special effect.
This photo is of the same back porch though the foreground with the rug was not included.
I have found the kaleidoscope effect to work best when photographing well defined, graphic scenes that take in a wide variety of exposure values.
This shot is of a small area rug set on a wall to wall carpet under a skylightThis image was shot next to a table with a Coke can sitting on it next to a wall to wall carpet with the small area rug on it. The red and black objects shown in the photo were originally a single dog toy made in the shape of a football.

Rob, Thanks for linking my post. I just got my first smart phone, a Samsung and still haven’t used the camera, it may have a feature similar to Photo Bucket I’ll check it out, Claudia

Cool!
Photo Booth is cool. Nice effect here. Have you tried Photo Studio HD? I’m addicted to that one, lol.
I have not tried Photo Studio HD, I will have to take a look, thanks Laura
You’re welcome! It’s pretty cool. You actually mask on it. Sometimes I use a combination of apps too. I should post more of those photos. They’re fun!
This is very VERY cool! Thank you!
With great respect! A.
