Photos Hipstamatic Photos

Just wondering if any of you have some decent photos to share that you've taken using the Hipstamatic photography app for the iPhone?

Here are a few of my own:

 

None of them really do anything for me.

 

Yeah, I don't get this...

 

Seems to me all this iphoneography business is like a rebellion to the 'oh look at me and my dslr i'm so great posse. A bit like Nirvana were a sort of answer to hair metal. However...some of the content of these photos is bollocks, a photo for photo's sakes.

Taking a picture of a pair of trainers and putting a green hue on it, is just a **** picture with a green hue on it.

 

I just quite like how even simpletons like myself can just scoop up their iPhone and take some photos. Admittedly they may not be top-notch on composition or subject, but at least it's a neat little app for taking the odd photo whilst out and about. It generally provides quite easy access to this style of photography without large amounts of expensive specialist equipment.

 

Isn't there just a normal app for the camera? Yep.

Nothing against you, but I hate these (<- might be a bit strong). I don't get them, at all. You can do some pretty decent photography with just the normal camera, then you can edit them. I'm sure there's an app for that. They'll probably turn out better.

What is 'hipstamatic' photos anyway? Looks like it's an attempt to create an aging/exposed too long to sunlight effect in them...

 

Hipstamatic is just a name someone made up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipstamatic

I suppose it is kind of imitating Lomo and Polaroid LQ (that is Low Quality) pics. Just like Kurt Cobain took a pride in playing very amatuerish riffs on his guitar (although entertaining), I think this is the same kind approach, a bit iconoclastic to the camera pedigree, distortion and stuff is a feature rather than an issue.

 

The pics dont really do anything for me personally, sorry.

But i love some of the lomography stuff, Probably because Ive never been a fan of crisp/sharp/almost clinical images. Dont get me wrong they have there place, but to me as long as the photo captures the moment/atmosphere then that's all that matters.

I love the cheapness of the lomo cameras, practically childlike. Yet some of the pictures produced are stunning!

 

it's just instant post processing with some presets, no big. if you really want to get into lo-fi photography you need to look at the real deal and get a $20 holga camera and then get the joy of spending more per roll of film than the camera itself.

 

I have to be honest, they just look like photos you'd take with a failing 1970's instant camera.

 

+1

 

I enjoy a spot of "Lomography". A set I took at Blackpool on a Vivitar UWS with cross-processed Fuji Sensia IMO added to the atmostphere of the subject. I also visit Lomography.com and there's some talented peeps over there regardless of the equipment they use.

Stuff like this on the otherhand is crap IMO. It's not a dig at you either it's a dig at the app. If you want to do saturated, old-worlde, light leaked stuff then buy an old 35mm camera and do it properly.

What this app does (although those 'hispters' jumping on the bandwaggon also this do with Holgas, etc) is add effects to already boring and uninspiring photos so the owner can go "look at how individual I am".

 

Buy 600$ camera, edit picture so they look like a sh**y cammera took them!

 

Another reason to hate Apple.

 

Excuse me?

Hipstamatic is just an app catering to people's newfound love for the lo-fi look. Do you hate Adobe for having "Cross Processed" presets in Lightroom? Or Kodak for the legions of people who intentionally cross-process film?

 

Fixed for you!




God I hate hipsters

 

I love my life as a ****head all of my friends are ****heads

 

Hipster trousers ?

 

I have a passionate dislike for these hipstamatic pictures too.

Everytime I log into Facebook, it is littered with people thinking they are cool for taking crappy pictures that look old and messed up.

Luckly, we are all blessed with our own banhammers on facebook...
