I finally really began to play around with Hipstamatic on my iPod touch. Wow! What fun! So many different combos of lens and film and effects that you can get…I had a blast playing with square frames, retro effects and blurry/low contrast pictures.
These two pictures, in particular, really swept me off my feet. The blue tones in the sky!!! Oh my!!
But the colors are second, I think, to the fun abstractness that you can pull out with the square frame. Well, at any rate, it’s been fun and I have really enjoyed the break from the picture grind…I had so much on my mind with making sure everyone was ready for school.
Today is the first full day of school for all four of my school-aged kids. Whew! It’s a lot quieter (but not totally since I still have 4.5 and 2 year olds with me! ) And now it’s time to get back to shooting with the “real” camera. I still have so much to learn…I’m looking forward to starting Kat Sloma’s Finding Your Eye course. I’ve heard lots of good things about it.
OMG these are awesome! wish i could get this app on my droid.
So do I! My cell is droid and that’s what I usually have with me. Have you tried Vignette? It’s my favorite because it has so many effects. There is also camera zoom which just had a big update and looks a lot better than I remember…just started playing with it again. And its on sale this week at the amazon app store.
That said, nothing beats the ease and apple graphic goodness of hipstamatic and instagram. Maybe one day….
Thanks for the comment!
