1. Sakura 2012 by Junichiro Aoyama

Snapped at Eifukuji Temple at Kyoto, Japan, this flowery Instagram capture is especially striking thanks to the perspective.

2. Sakura by Ruthanne Annaloro

This is a beautiful photographic memento of the Centenial Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. The ancient cherry branch in the foreground of the image provides superb structure, while the Hipstamatic-enhanced tones reveal a dreamy look.

3. Summer Blossoms by Jim Moore

Jim Moore has a home advantage with the Bleach Bypass app he used for this shot -- he developed it. This garden snapshot has been given the Bleach Bypass treatment with color tone adjustments and contrast. It was then run through Pic Grunger for that awesome aged look.

4. Heavenly Blossom by Reckless Times

This experimentation with Synthetic's SwankoLab app is a success. We love the iridescent crispness of the blossoms set against the blurry backdrop.

5. Power Station Chimneys and Blossoms by LittleFurryCats

The juxtaposition of nature and industry in this image works well. Taken near Eggborough Power Station in North Yorkshire, U.K., this picture was created with the help of the Hipstamatic app.

6. Cherry Blossoms by CauseWorld

This picture offers a pretty-in-pink view of cherry blossoms. It has been processed with the popular Japanese toy camera app "CameraTan."

7. Blossoms by Michel de Nijs

These Dutch blooms have been enhanced with Photoshop Mobile and ShakeItPhoto. We love the wild saturation of the resulting tones.

---

8. Sakura on a Rainy Night by Masahiko Kuroki

A rainy night in Yurakucho, Tokyo led to a stellar photo opportunity for Masahiko Kuroki. The effective "tiltshift" look has been created in Photoshop Elements.

9. Flare by Dirk Dallas

Stunning light flare elevates Dirk Dallas' beautiful blossom to transcendental loveliness.

10. Cherry Blossom by Cary Crusiau

The Cameramatic app has added the vignette and special effects here, but the capture belongs to Cary Crusiau.

BONUS: Camouflaged by Joanna Dunford

We've added this as a "bonus" slide because this playful picture is not just about the blossom, it's about the enigmatic air the branches lend the couple on the bench. A fantastic Noir Photo- and Snapseed-edited effort, Joanna Dunford has captivated us with her subject matter, composition and processing.

The great thing about mobile photography is that your camera is always with you. This means you can capture all of life’s little details instead of just the grand events.

These details can be found in the changing of the seasons, such as when winter turns into spring. To celebrate the start of the warm weather, we’ve taken a look at beautiful iPhone photographs that highlight the blossoming season.

Take a look through our image gallery for a veritable bower of blooms. Post links to your own pictures in the comments of any images you’ve snapped on your mobile phone of spring in full bloom.

This iPhone Platform Will Change The Way You Shoot Videos

This iPhone Platform Will Change The Way You Shoot Videos

By Emily Price On Masable

A new Kickstarter project is aiming to redefine how you shoot video with your iPhone. The Galileo is an iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform that lets you manipulate the angle your iPhone from another iOS device, giving you the ability to adjust your iPhone to almost any angle you could possibly want.

For instance, if you were video chatting with a child who moved out of sight of the camera you could move the platform to follow her using your own device. The platform could also be used in situations like meetings so you can can follow all the action going on in the room. The platform’s inventor originally created the device in order to have better chats with his son while he was away on business.

Galileo can be controlled from another iOS device such as an iPad or iPod touch by swiping a finger across the screen, and gives you infinite 360-degree panning and 200-degree tilting. You can see everything around the iPhone and above it, with the only unavailable angle being what’s going on below.

The platform is also offering its SDK (software developers kit) for app development, giving app developers the freedom to integrate Galileo functionality into existing apps or create apps and software specifically designed to work with the product.

Galilieo has currently raised close to $270,000 on Kickstarter, and only required $100,000 to go into production. The project will be officially funded on April 21, 2012, after which the device will go into mass production and be sent out to project backers and then likely general consumers.

What do you think of the project? Tell us what potential uses you see for Galileo in the comments.
