Ballymena Today loves vscocam

Posted by | Jul 20, 2015 |

Anyone with a smart phone can take a photograph now. The quality of our phone cameras just gets better and better. Does that make us better photographers? Probably not but, we now have an array of great tools at our fingertips to help us achieve better results. Work at it, practice and don’t post every single image online but also, see what others are doing, be inspired. Good photographs of your business and your products could be the big difference between building an audience on social media and standing still on the Internet. Great images are key to representing yourself and your business online, get out your phone and start using it. There will be times when you need a photographer and a big camera for sure, but for all the times in between, get that phone out! Ballymena today loves vscocam for a few reasons. The quality of the app is excellent but we also love their philosophy… This is about all of us, the creative community, banding together for the sake of beauty and doing what we love. This is about pouring every ounce of blood, sweat and tears into something worth believing in. This is about the power of art for art’s sake and the belief that a photo can change perspectives, moods, and lives. This is about a worldwide movement of millions creating for the love...

Ballymena Today loves Apple Music

Posted by | Jul 10, 2015 |

We are profoundly passionate about music. It’s a force that’s driven and inspired us from day one. So we’ve set out to make it better. To bring you more music than ever with access to millions of songs for just £9.99 a month, or £14.99 for your family. To give you personal recommendations from people who know and love music. To deepen the connection between artists and fans. To reimagine radio with a 24/7, global station. This is Apple Music. And it’s just the beginning. These are bold words but we’ve come to know that Apple make bold statements and bold products to back up them up. Not long ago we wrote about how we loved Spotify here but, will Apple Music affect their recent years of dominance in the online music streaming world? For now I have cancelled my Spotify subscription and am taking advantage of the three month free trial offered by Apple. Will we stick with Apple or return to Spotify? That remains to be seen… but, here are some initial things we love about Apple Music so far. Oh, and one thing we don’t like. The App Having all of our music in one place is a feature that you get right across all of the Apple Music locations but on a phone, this is a super easy and helpful feature that we love. Being...
