stay tuned next week! because i will be posting a video about using hipstamatic with a fisheye lens!
well anyway, i happened to be one of the lucky ones that was able to pick up the new hipstamatic goodpak while it was still available for download. [don't worry, it comes out this friday]. i took it out for a test spin today, taking shots of my daily life. it appears the melodie lens intensifies brightness. dark colors are darker, bright colors are more vibrant. green seems to pop out much more. i would recommend it for when you are taking photos outdoors in the sunlight. [taking shots in the shade results in silohuette images] indoor shots tend to come out dull and grainy. when the new hipstamatic pack comes out, comment on this entry with a link to your shots! i'm interested to see what other people will do with it.
sorry i haven't been able to post about my art because i haven't time to do anything new due to finals. i will get back on the grind come this saturday.
also....hipstamatic fans....i am planning to go out to the wilderness next week armed with items that can showcase what the app can do when armed with case mods, extra lenses, and accessories....so this is what i'm planning to bring...
- mobile fisheye lens - holga fisheye lens [its huge] - holga/diana soft surround filters [if i can find them] - exterior light source - flip camera to show how it works - DIY macro lens
i mainly have been accessorizing for this app because natural lighting, while its the best kind, isn't really well captured on any mobile phone. and the default lens leaves more to be desired when you want shots of big things that are really close to you.
i stopped by a jam friday night for 5 minutes. right when i got there, i found out i was battling. not my best stuff, but i'll put it up anyway so i can look back on this in the future:
