Something very special tends to happen in the moments right before a photo is taken — someone makes a goofy face, awkwardly fusses with his clothes, breaks into an impromptu dance, or looks at the camera in fear. No matter what the silly action is, it's a shame to miss capturing it.
That's where a new iPhone app called GLMPS comes in.
GLMPS is available for free through the Apple App Store and it gives you a way to capture the magical seconds between "Let me take a photo!" and the click of a digital shutter.
You don't need to actively do anything other than use the GLMPS app. It automatically records video while it's open and turns the five-second period before each photo is snapped into a little video clip. This little bonus gives your photos context and lets you always capture those silly moments before people pose properly.
