Camera Awesome (Free)

Okay, so the name is a little braggy, but we're going to let it go because, well, this app really is awesome. It literally has a single button that you push to “Awesomize” your photo by automatically fixing its color, clarity, and exposure. Beyond that single, decidedly awesome button, the app also offers simple photo rules and advice. You know, the kind that many an art student spend gobs of money to learn.

Camera + (.99 cents)

For less than the cost of a mid-afternoon soda, you can download this app to pump up your iPhone's photos. It allows you to zoom in on those vintage shoes, crop out the lurker in the background of a shot, and, even use an on-screen grid to think through your photo’s composition. After you snap away, you can make touch-ups (and play around with color and exposure in a very addictive way) in the editing suite. Impressive.

CameraSharp ($1.99)

Like the other apps on this list, CameraSharp will help you edit your photos after you shoot, but perhaps the most exciting part of this particular tech-y treat is the freedom it gives you while you're taking the shots. For all of us prone to drinking one too many non-fat lattes and getting a little jittery, the app offers an anti-shake mode that steadies the camera and captures blur-free, blog-worthy images.
