Panorama 360 Camera is now available for FREE
I have used the app, but found it to be a bit cumbersome - aligning the red and blue boxes is just too time consuming. I prefer Autostitch for panoramas - its simple, easy and accurate. Nevertheless, you can try out the Panorama 360 Camera app at its current FREE price and then make the judgment yourself.

wasHere seems an interesting app and is available for FREE
I haven't yet myself tested the app, but going by its app store description, it sounds quite interesting to me. It takes two pictures simultaneously with the front and rear camera together and then sews them in a way that puts a faded version of the front facing camera image on top of the rear facing one.

Shange, a good collage making iPhoneography app, is now FREE
This app boasts to have 100 colorful patterns and many unique layouts and styles. I would say its worth a try at its current price. It has a rating of 4/5 from 10 reviews on App Store.

MobileMonet, an artistic iPhoneography app, has dropped in price to £0.69
Made by the same guys, East Coast Pixels, that made some other hugely popular apps like Photo Toaster and Color Blast!, this is a good fun app to transform your photos into colored sketches. Colors can be filled in selectively and progressively. You also get options to change the intensity of vibrance, brightness and color.
I personally preferred using this app for landscapes rather than portraits. A good app overall - recommended.

Image Straightener, iPhoneography app, is now FREE
It's a cool app to straighten your unintentionally tilted photos.
Artographo, another ToonPaint type iPhoneography app, has dropped in price to £0.69
It is a ToonPaint type app with some extra filters to add to photo effects. I am actually liking it.
Image Blender, a super popular iPhoneography app has dropped in price to £0.69
This app is very popular among iPhoneographers for blending two images using tens of blending options like Multiply, Dark, Light, Saturation, etc.

POTD: An Autmn Scene
Autumn Birds
The wild duck startles like a sudden thought,
And heron slow as if it might be caught.
The flopping crows on weary wings go by
And grey beard jackdaws noising as they fly.
The crowds of starnels whizz and hurry by,
And darken like a clod the evening sky.
The larks like thunder rise and suthy round,
Then drop and nestle in the stubble ground.
The wild swan hurries hight and noises loud
With white neck peering to the evening clowd.
The weary rooks to distant woods are gone.
With lengths of tail the magpie winnows on
To neighbouring tree, and leaves the distant crow
While small birds nestle in the edge below.
-- John Clare
I took this picture with my iPhone last week while sitting in Greenwich Park.

POTD: A Rose in a Flower
A Little Budding Rose
It was a little budding rose,
Round like a fairy globe,
And shyly did its leaves unclose
Hid in their mossy robe,
But sweet was the slight and spicy smell
It breathed from its heart invisible.
The rose is blasted, withered, blighted,
Its root has felt a worm,
And like a heart beloved and slighted,
Failed, faded, shrunk its form.
Bud of beauty, bonnie flower,
I stole thee from thy natal bower.
I was the worm that withered thee,
Thy tears of dew all fell for me;
Leaf and stalk and rose are gone,
Exile earth they died upon.
Yes, that last breath of balmy scent
With alien breezes sadly blent!
-- Emily Bronte
