While here’s a step by step guide if ya want it!
I use an array of different iPhone photo apps. In fact I’m obsessed with them. But my most used and favorites are Camera+, Hipstamatic and Instagram. Here’s how I process.
I take most of my photos in Camera+ and store them in the library there until I edit. So here, I snapped this photo which was super crappy and underexposed but I liked the angle.
I then applied the “Clarity” filter in Camera+ to make the outline of the various items in the image stand out. This filter is under “edit” once you have snapped the picture in Camera+. After I applied this filter I pressed done and “save” to get the image into my camera roll.
Love the pic but it needs more! So I went into Instagram and cropped to my liking. I then tapped the photo and pressed “tilt shift” and used the circle tilt shift to focus on the lamp post light. This blurred the castle. I then applied the X Pro II filter to darken everything out and WA LAA. You guys loved this pic.
Another option is to start a photo in Hipstamatic. Here’s Benny taken with the Watts lens and film. Note: you can buy a bunch of paks on Hipstamatic. I own them ALL and it is well worth it. The photo is already neat. But I always upload into Instagram for the little “oomph”.
Upload to Instagram. Tap to access tilt shift. Use the circle shift to focus on Benny’s face and apply the X Pro II film and boom:
And really sometimes all you need is a cool shot. You guys LOVED this. You know the hanging buckets on Main St? I just focused on that. Tilt shift to focus on in it Instagram and applied the Lomo filter.
Now you know my secrets. ;) Show me your photos!!!!!!!
Random February snow, you’re so vintage!
Omgz whales. If you guys ever go to California or live there or something you HAVE to check out Captain Dave’s Dolphin Safari. <3 http://www.dolphinsafari.com. We saw so many thousands of dolphin and a blue whale on this tour. Also, fact. They are seeing grey whales right now. Like moms and babies. Baby whale! I got this little email that there are special three hour Valentine’s Day tours available at a discount. Tear. Oh, and this is NOT a paid add. At all. I’m moving to California.
Test shot from the new FREE Hipstamatic lens! Yays!
Yays. I’m absolutely (abs) obsessed with iPhone camera apps. Obsessed. I probably own them all. Well I wish I did. My favorites being Hipstamatic, Toy Camera and Instagram. Heart!
So I follow the App Store on Twitter now and they tweeted about the app “Plastic Bullet Camera”.
So um, cool name.
And also YAY new camera app! Isn’t it great how I’ve spent thousands on a DSLR plus equipment and I use my freaking iPhone for pics?
I digress!
Onto the review!
So you can either take a pic from this app or load a pic in and from there you can apply affects. But it does it in a VERY cool way. What happens is you are given 4 different filters per page and then in the upper right hand corner there is a small circle if you want to filter again. Or you can choose one to click the heart and save to your camera roll and also get options like upload to Facebook and Flickr. Awesome! I really loved this. I kept clicking that little circle to get more options.
Plastic Bullet Camera is $1.99 in the App Store and in my opinion well worth the price of a tall coffee at Starbucks! Tell me what you think after you buy it or even better, post a picture response you take with it! <3
