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 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

    Photo Booth is cool. Nice effect here. Have you tried Photo Studio HD? I’m addicted to that one, lol.

        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!
