Diana Photo ($1.99 → Free, 23.9 MB): A photography app that allows you to create fantastic compositions with nothing but a shake. It’s a great addition to any iPhoneographer’s collection.

The best part about Diana Photo is that it’s relatively hands-off. All you have to do is take a bunch of great photos to populate your camera roll. Then shake your iDevice and see what Diana Photo is able to come up with. The app will layer two randomly chosen photos to create a composition and apply a random filter. You can also manually select your photos and a filter if you have something in mind. Text can be placed over the top of your final creation before sharing it via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Messages, or email.

The difficulty, however, is surviving for more than a minute. Danger in 1001 Attempts comes in all shapes and sizes, and it moves quickly so you will have to as well.
