Click on the tumbnails above to see our five favorite iPhone camera apps right now.
BlendCam
Cost: Free
The art of multiple exposures within a single frame made a comeback with the trend of Holga cameras, but if film isn't your thing, then let BlendCam satisfy your 21st century need for gratification with this digital (and free) alternative.
Pudding Camera
Cost: FREE
Carry an arsenal of eight Lomography-ish film cameras (action, fisheye, panorama, etc) with Pudding Camera. We're not sure why the cute name, but this app is packing heat with features. It allows you to experiment with different film types and gives you manual control over your aperture settings. Despite the app mostly not being in English, the interface is easy to use and very straightforward.
3D Camera
Cost: $1.99
3D is all the rage right now, and 3D Camera is no exception. This app comes with three modes: anaglyph (viewable with red/cyan glasses which you can get for free here), stereogram (no glasses needed, just cross your eyes à la MagicEye illusion books), or a wigglegram (a trippy animated illusion).
Pano
Cost: $1.99
All of Sony's latest point and shoot cameras have a fun panoramic "sweep" mode that seamlessly merges multiple horizon photos into 180-degree landscapes, but why drop $300 when you can get the same thing for $2 on your iPhone? Pano also has two sweet extras that Sony doesn't have: it merges photos up to 360 degrees and also has a vertical option.
Holographium
Cost: $2.99
For this app you need to partner up with an actual camera, but the cool end result will not disappoint. Use Holographium to create customized 3D text on your iPhone and drag it out in front of your digital camera to create wild long exposures with your text floating in it. Hint: Try downloading an Emoji keyboard for graphic effects.
