Just download one of these nifty (and free!) apps, snap to your heart’s content and post it straight on any of your preferred social networking channels (should you wish).

Perfect for all those brief little city breaks…

4. GifRus-Gif Master – add animation to your photo creations.

5. Pocket Light Meter – aperture, ISO and shutter speed variations for those wanabe pros.
