Hipsta-Magic
12th July 2011
After reading an article in this months Black &White photography magazine I decided to take a look at the Hipstamatic app for my iPhone – What an absolute blast!
The basic premise of this photo app is that by choosing from a variety of ‘lenses’ and ‘films’ you create photos that have a unique and quirky feel in a traditional square format. There is no post processing (its all done as soon as the shot is taken) and as you have no control over exposure and focus you have the freedom to just “point and shoot” and be creative.
Even the most mundane items become interesting; I'm pretty pleased my first attempts which were all taken around the Lab at work.
