photos by Scott Beale
Last Friday at Attaboy’s “Anitdote” art show, my friend and fellow photographer Tryntje Rapalje turned me on to ShakeItPhoto, a really fun iPhone app that emulates a Polaroid camera. You shoot a photo with the app, it gets ejected onto the screen with the classic Polaroid sound and then you have to shake the iPhone in order to “process” the photo. The fauxlaroid photos it produces are pretty cool. Here are a few I’ve shot recently and be sure to check out Tryntje’s awesome ShakeItPhoto gallery.
Once you are up and running, submit your best ShakeItPhoto photos to PhotoShakeDown, where other users can then view and rate them. There is also a ShakeItPhoto Best Of group on Flickr.

oh man, Plug2 is addicted to this app. she’s gotten some really cool shots from it.
have you tried Camera Bag? there are some really cool effects in there, too.
id love to see a “best of iPhone app post,” like what apps does Scott Beale (or his readers) use the most and why?
hey scott, glad to see you using ShakeItPhoto. i’ve been using it since it came out and i love it! here’s my flickr set
It’s fun, but I prefer the Polarize app above ShakeItPhoto
Meh … I would personally go for the other ShakeIt (with out the photo part). I just got it cause its now on sale for 99cents (i’ve upgraded from ShakeIt Lite).
Its got more of a ‘true’ polaroid frame and possibly more realistic color effects.
Too bad I don’t have an Iphone. Hopefully something like this will come out for normal cameras (without having to send them through photoshop) Or maybe something already has, i’d like to know.
