Globetrotter: Travel Tracker is a new photo app that makes it easy to turn a simple photo library into a scrapbook filled with memories.

A new app by Cascable aims to remove the furious weather app checking before snapping the perfect shot. Called Photo Scout, it will instead notify users when the conditions are just right.

The new startup Inalife wants to make a digital family album for many generations.

What if every photograph included a short video showing the few seconds that led up to the shutter being pressed? That's the idea behind a new free iPhone app called GLMPS (pronounced "glimpse"). It's a camera app that stores a few seconds of video with each shot, letting users share the background behind each picture (try clicking the photo above). Unlike normal iPhone photos, displaying a GLMPS photo/video requires a special embed code, make it somewhat inconvenient to share. Wouldn't it be interesting if short videos could be stored in the metadata of photographs taken by all digital cameras? Seems kinda farfetched, but it might be possible as technology progresses.

There seems to be a growing trend of professional photographers teaming up with developers to create the "ultimate" photography application for the iPhone. In September 2009, photographer Chase Jarvis teamed up with Ubermind to create The Best Camera, an ecosystem that revolves around the Best Camera iPhone application.
