3 cool Hipstamatic combinations

3 cool Hipstamatic combinations

I have a hard time picking Hipstamatic combos.  There are a ton that are not too good.  But there are a few that I think are incredible.  I am not listing flashes because I don't use them enough to have an opinion on them.

Here is the photo taken with the regular iPhone 5 camera for reference.

And here are my favorites today:

Loftus Lens and BlackKeys B+W Film

I turn off all most of the lens and films in the shake to randomize feature, and the first ones I turn off are the black and white ones.  Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the black and white ones come up too much, more than the color films.  Annnnnnnd, I would rather take color and make it black and white later if I feel like it so I have the choice.  Buuuuuuuuut, when ever I do want to use a B and W film this is the combo I have in my favorites.  It really isn't black and white, just pretty desaturated.  I don't care for the month and year it adds to the bottom of the border, but that is easy enough to remove if I feel like it is taking away from the pic too much.  I also like the Loftus blur.  Some really sharp parts and some really soft parts.  I like this combination.

Watts Lens and Ina's 1982

This feels like the opposite of the combo above.  The images are real saturated and contrasty, sometimes too much and some detail is lost.  Sometimes though it looks really good and bright.  I use this if I want some colors to stand out.  The Lens does all the work, as it seems to me that the 82 film is the most basic film.

Jane Lens and Dixie Film

For regular pics.  The film has a little something going on around the edges to make it interesting, but this makes a pic that doesn't have too much weirdness going on.

I know I said 3, but Salvador 84 Lens and DreamCanvas Film

 

Don't use this for anything important.  It only makes 1 cool pic for every 30 you take, but when it does it is really cool.  I like this when I just want to keep playing and trying until something awesome happens.

I am going to go take some more pics now.  Get Hipstamatic if you think it sounds cool and haven't picked it up yet.

And if you don't want to pay for it, try freemyapps and build up some point and get it for free.
