\nFor: Android\n

\n\nOne Man With a Camera is an aptly named photo app that allows you to take photos in the style of vintage or unique cameras, including old cameras (think scratchy, low-contrast photos), underwater, Polaroid, and fish-eye. You also can add 12 different effects to photos taken with any of the cameras, including turning your photos black and white or sepia, making them \"rusty,\" or adding a cross-process filter. While this makes the app sound similar to Instagram, One Man With a Camera is more about imitating vintage and unusual types of cameras rather than adding filters after the fact.", credit: "", sourceid: null, sourcename: "", sourceurl: null, sourcelogo: "", thumbsrc: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/sm/photo-apps-02-0613-smn.jpg", src: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/ol/photo-apps-02-0613-lgn.jpg", srcwidth: 600, srcheight: 450 }, { id: "slide3", url: "5-photo-apps-for-the-smartphone-shutterbug-3", slidetype: "image", title: "Car Crazee", description: "Price: Free
\nOS: iOS, Android\n

\n\nCar Crazee is meant to help you share photos with other car guys. Think of it as social-networking gearheads. Car Crazee will help you find people who enjoy the same cars you do, such as antique cars or cars of a certain brand or type, and follow collectors in those specific niches. For example, there were more than 5000 Mustang lovers around at last count.", credit: "", sourceid: null, sourcename: "", sourceurl: null, sourcelogo: "", thumbsrc: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/YQ/photo-apps-03-0613-smn.jpg", src: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/tB/photo-apps-03-0613-lgn.jpg", srcwidth: 600, srcheight: 450 }, { id: "slide4", url: "5-photo-apps-for-the-smartphone-shutterbug-4", slidetype: "image", title: "Vapp", description: "Price: Free
\nFor: iOS, Android\n

\n\nVapp was created for those moments when you want to take a picture but can\'t gather enough strength to leave the couch. With Vapp, all you have to do is say the word (or make any sound, actually) and the app will take a picture for you. Of course, your iPad or iPhone would have to be sitting in the right position to begin with. Which brings us to the actual reason the app was created: for people who want hands-free photo taking to avoid the blurry, shaky look that comes from taking photos with only one hand, or for those who want to be in their own pictures but don\'t want to rely on time delays or ask somebody else to snap the photo.", credit: "", sourceid: null, sourcename: "", sourceurl: null, sourcelogo: "", thumbsrc: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/rC/photo-apps-04-0613-smn.jpg", src: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/PV/photo-apps-04-0613-lgn.jpg", srcwidth: 600, srcheight: 450 }, { id: "slide5", url: "5-photo-apps-for-the-smartphone-shutterbug-5", slidetype: "image", title: "Gorilla Cam", description: "Price: Free
\nFor: iOS\n

\n\nGorilla Cam is another great option in the world of sports-photo apps. Instead of capturing hundreds of stills, GorillaCam creates time lapses and stop-motion videos. The app lets you capture that bat hitting the ball (thanks to its rapid-fire photo-series capabilities) and then creates a time lapse of the event so you can analyze it in slow-mo.", credit: "", sourceid: null, sourcename: "", sourceurl: null, sourcelogo: "", thumbsrc: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/Ph/photo-apps-05-0613-smn.jpg", src: "/cm/popularmechanics/images/ar/photo-apps-05-0613-lgn.jpg", srcwidth: 600, srcheight: 450 } ] };

Fast Camera

Price: $1.99
For: iOS

This just might be the sports lover's best friend. Fast Camera allows users to take up to 200 high-resolution pictures in less than a minute. Yes, you read that correctly. If you don't mind lower resolution, you can get up to 800 images a minute, as the camera allows you to adjust your phone's normal shutter speed. This is perfect for capturing rapid movement such as your favorite player throwing a ball or that Indy car flying by. The app allows you to review your pics and choose which ones you want to save, rather than saving all of them automatically, so you don't waste memory.
