Early impresions of Hipstamatic

February 27th, 2010 § 0 comments § permalink

The fun of toy cameras is in the light leaks, deceptive viewfinder, over saturated (or muted) colors and the whole unpredictability of it all. I’ve got a Holga and a few throw-aways that I enjoy using, but they aren’t always with me. My iPhone is, however. If only it could mimic those cameras.

Hipstamatic comes very close. I spent this morning shooting with it, playing with the included lenses, films and flashes, with pleasing results. Check out the photos below for a sample.

A full review is coming next week.
