Pendulum Chaos is a simulation of a pendulum wave. By setting up a series of pendulums of carefully selected lengths, a pendulum wave effect is generated.
GET IT HERE!
For the fellow geeks out there, the basic equation I used is theta(t)=theta0*cos(t/sqrt(L/g)). The pendulum lengths are calculated with L(i)=g(1/(2PI*I(i)))^2.
You can also find cool videos of actual pendulum waves on youtube! These videos are also what prompted me to write this app.
How to use?
It's all pretty self-explanatory. You control the number of pendulums, initial swing angle, overall speed, pendulum size and colours.
I even allowed swing angles of up to 360 degrees to get effects impossible in an experimental setup.
Experiment with them yourself to get some really nice graphics!
Tip: Use similar shades of color, perhaps of light and dark brightness levels, and allow some transparency to your colors, then slow down the simulation speed to really appreciate the wave effect.
If you have any questions, you can email me at [email protected] or post on my blog woolfloats.blogspot.com, which I am embarrassed to admit I am sorely neglecting...
I have also written another app called NTW Text Editor which you can download from the Market. It allows the editing of files with no file size limit, and will also bookmark all your editing progress in every file. If you liked Pendulum Chaos, pls do take a look at NTW too ;-)

v1.3 is out!
Changes from v1.0
- Fixed the lack of proper launcher icons.
- Autosaves your settings upon exiting the app,
- Blurrify mode for really dreamy looking graphics
- Shorter pendulums are now smaller in size than longer pendulums,
- Tweaked the pendulum lengths to make better use of available screen space.

Sooooo pwweeetty
v1.4
- Colors are now calculated using pendulum length and swing angle combined.
- Even more dreamy effect by making the blurriness dependent on swing angle and length as well!

Ahem, pls help me share my vid? I'm hoping to make it go viral

Understanding smartphone cameras…

People on social media are constantly looking to click better pictures to upload to their growing online-photo collections. Buying an expensive smart phone may not be enough to up your game in photography, but a little research on camera specifications and nomenclature will go a long way in helping you select that perfect smart phone for your next photographic expedition.
Camera Glossary
Sensor: A sensor captures light and converts what you see into an image. It determines image size, resolution, low-light performance, depth-of-field, dynamic range and basically how good your photos look.

The quality of the image depends on the size of sensor, the number of pixels on it and the size of those pixels. For example: Samsung’s ISOCELL image sensor technology promises increased light sensitivity and higher colour fidelity in smartphones even in poor lighting conditions.
Aperture: The aperture (sometimes called focal ratio) of a camera is the ratio of the lens' focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a measure of lens speed, and provides the thrust to produce photos with better sharpness and clarity. The higher the focal ratio and the smaller the opening in the lens, the greater the depth of field and sharper the background of the photograph.
PDAF: Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) is currently the fastest method of focusing. It uses two sensor points to detect the phase difference in the light path and find the exact distance. It moves the lens to the correct focus point so that the camera produces high quality images. A few smartphones also use VCM ball bearing and closed loop technology in PDAF, which lets the user click a picture in less than 0.09th of a second.
Megapixel: This is a unit for measuring image resolution. The more the pixels in a picture, the more detailed the picture becomes. To put it simply, a single megapixel amounts to one million pixels in an image and is an indication of the camera's image quality or resolution. So photographs taken by a camera with higher megapixels will result in higher resolution images.
Resolution: This refers to the number of pixels in a camera sensor. A higher resolution means more pixels and more pixels provide the ability to display more visual information (resulting in greater clarity and more detail).
Autofocus: The Auto-Focus feature provides a camera with the ability to automatically focus on a subject correctly without the need of manual intervention from the user. This feature allows improved zoom shots and closer macro shots.
So don’t be camera shy, go ahead and research these terms so you have the right smart phone to click that award winning photo!

Camera Tip and Tricks for the Honor View20

Camera Tip and Tricks for the Honor View20​
The Honor View20 has one of the best Sony camera sensors available for phones right now. The 48MP back facing camera is a real game changers. Here are a few different tricks to try out with your new camera.
1. Aperture Mode
The trick to creating a great wide aperture effect is having a phone with a great camera and software that can accurately differentiate background object from foreground objects. The AI NPU chipset makes all the difference in this area. The phone's ability to identify different objects and and use the dual-cameras to recognize depth, means the Honor View20 can create extremely effective aperture mode effects. Get creative with this mode and see what kind of shots your can get.

2. Portrait
Portrait mode is done extremely well on this phone. If it's your first time using portrait mode, know that it's basically your phone detecting the outline of your head/body and blurring the background. The quality of this popular effect comes down to your phone being able to accurately trace your face and remove it from the backdrop.
The Honor View20's large 25MP selfie camera lets you take really detailed selfies that look amazing. Try out the portrait mode with your selfie camera and you're going to be really impressed with the results.
3. AI Mode
AI mode was one of the main features advertised in this phone. Toggle it on and try it out. It can really bring out the color in some of your shots. If you don't like the way the effect looks, you can toggle it off afterwards in your galley. I have this feature toggled on at all times, since there's really no reason not to. Your original image is always preserved without the AI, so you can get rid of it later on.
Keep in mind that AI mode is not available when shooting in full 48MP mode.
4. Video Format (H.265) (H.264)
You can choose the format in which your videos are encoded. You have the option of H.265 or H.264. The H.265 option will give you a more compressed video resulting in a smaller file size. The H.264 option is a less compressed format and will have slightly higher quality video.
Go to Video > Settings > Video Size > Format. to access this option.
5. Edit Your Camera Menu
With all the different camera modes built into the default camera app, it's nice to be able to customize which modes your have quick access to.
From your camera app, go to More > Edit then you can rearrange all of your different camera modes.

Also, if you're wanting to test out the 48MP camera feature, make sure you change your resolution in the photo settings. By default, your camera will shoot at 12MP. When shooting at 48MP, it's best to use a tripod to keep your camera as still as possible. After you are done shooting, your camera ill revert back to the 12MP default option.

[App][6.0+] Teo - photo editor (Teal & Orange filters) [Update]

Teo is a photo editor with a focus on simplicity and minimalism.
Its main goal is to easily create cinematic teal and orange looks.
Those who already know what's teal and orange color grading probably will appreciate the number of filters suitable for different lighting scenarios and photo subjects, as it's usually not easy to find a decent teal/orange filter that would work on any photo.
For those who don't know what it is, I recommend checking out this video (it's not mine, all credit goes to Matti Haapoja)
Main things to know about Teo:
30+ teal and orange filters (Updated frequently)
Contrast, Sharpness, Clarity, Exposure, Vibrance, Saturation, Brightness, Shadows and Highlights adjustments
Save photos with up to 6144 x 6144 resolution (depends on the device)
Quickly share your photo on Instagram or other social media
Extremely fast, utilizing the full power of your GPU
Compare the result with before/after toggle

Crop with the aspect ratio settings. Predefined aspect ratios for your Instagram posts and stories
Stunning Clarity setting to amplify the texture and details of your photos
Add filters to favorites with a long tap
Pro features:
No ads
Pro filters for more effortless editing
It's not an all-in-one editor, and not meant to replace huge apps like Snapseed, Polarr, or Lightroom, but rather to complement them with versatile filters that are fast and easy to use.
Hope someone finds it useful, I'm open to suggestions and feedback.
Also, I'm ready to share some technical details if someone is interested.

The app has been updated and got a lot of cool new features.
Added crop, favorites, and a Clarity setting, similar to Clarity from Lightroom.
Also now there's an option to remove ads (in-app purchase) and get additional Pro filters at the same time.
Apart from that, there are tons of small improvements and fixes under the hood.
I'll also add a white balance/color temperature setting in a couple of days, and in case you'd like to see some other features - don't hesitate to leave feedback here

Version 1.2.3 is out
- Added new filters, both Pro and regular
- Added Warmth/Color Temperature setting.
If someone is using Teo, I'd be really interested in feedback and what would you like to see next.
More filters, not only Teal/Orange?
Or more settings and moving towards a complete photo editor app?

The new 1.3.5 version is out with more filters and filter categories for easier navigation.
Also, some performance improvements under the hood, including faster app start time.
