Photo Booth. It’s a great application for Mac’s that have the built in iSight. (iMacs, All MacBooks) It’s fun if you are bored in your room, at the airport, or just want to have some fun! Photo Booth comes with Leopard and Tiger, and it’s just awesome!

First off, Photo Booth has a ton of different effects you can use when taking a picture. There’s sepia, black, white, glow, comic book, color pencil, thermal camera, x-ray, and pop art! Then, there is some “teenage effects” as Steve Jobs said at MacWorld, and they are bulge, dent, twirl, squeeze, mirror, light tunnel, fish eye, and stretch.

All of those effects are in Tiger too, but backgrounds are introduced in Mac OS X Leopard and included are clouds, color dots, earthrise, Eiffel Tower, fish, rollercoaster, sunset, and even Yosemite!

Also, if you’re in a dark room, a closet, or at night waiting outside Apple there is even a solution to taking pictures. Since there is a lot of light built in behind your display, Steve Jobs just figured they could flash the screen and make it go white. Then, you can still get a really good picture!

Now, you can even use the effects in iChat as your background and just have some more fun.

So now, whenever you’re bored, just click on Photo Booth and you can do tons of things. Record a video, take pictures, look at yourself and decide if you need a hat for the day, or whatever!
