Vacation videos and photos, they bring the fun back to life after the vacation. Because of this we want to make sure you have the best apps for your phone to shoot them. Once again, we have run across a few extremely fun apps to add to your arsenal.

First is a way to get rid of those annoying shakes. Whether they are from walking around while shooting or that pesky hangover from a wild night in Key West, shaking videos are annoying and almost unusable. How do you combat that? You use a handy little app called Luma by Midnox. Luma is simple and straightforward to use. Best of all it not only have the stabilization feature but also includes a great black and white filter and zoom. You can also set manual focus, manual exposure and manual white balance if you really want to get creative.

Filter effect

The second you will want to give a peek to is the TiltShift Video app. This is more of a post production app and comes with plenty of tips on how to stabilize your videos, use blur creatively and look for good subjects and things to video to use the tilt shift effect correctly. With a little practice you can make that lighthouse seem miniature or the palm trees seem like a play set for your kids.

From normal to awesome with filters

PowerCam by Wondershare Software Co. also gives you the tilt Shift effect but also has great features like a photo collage option, instant live filters and more than 50 other effects and filters. Once you take the photos or while you take them you can literally waste a whole day with this app dressing them up.

If you go on vacation with friends and they often post pictures to facebook or other social media apps and tag you, now you can find and gather all those photos with one app. For example, you have a big wedding and everyone is taking pitures and posting them. But few if any remember to send you their pictures. There may be all kinds of memories that you would enjoy, but you willnever know unless you troll through all of those profiles! No more. With Kaptur you can collect all of those photos with one app, then add them to your own and share them either in an album, slideshow, video or all of the above. There are a number of themes to use and dress them up with and a number of possibilities.

Color Boost helps pick pictures up

Best yet, to download all of these apps will cost you $3. So with all the money you saved you can send us a cool sea shell or tiki souvenir…… we kid….enjoy your vacation.
