26 August 2011 - Hipstamatic


Littletown, Dornoch, Highlands

I have been playing with an app on my iPhone - Hipstamatic. It is a camera that you get with a couple of lenses and films built in, however you can purchase others within the app.

These images were all tinted in Lightroom, but otherwise just have their Curve adjusted to increase contrast. The texture, degrading and vignetting are all added by the app. I love it's effects.

The main thing I have learned is that you should have a main feature in the image to get the best out of it. Although I include no portraits here it is good for these, but you have to experiment as the effects are not entirely predictable.

Just returned from 2 weeks in north east Scotland. The weather was good - changeable with sun and rain, fog and mist.

I have a lot of images and concepts to process and will be posting regularly to the blog, website, Flickr and photo.net. Hope you like the new projects as they are posted.
