I took Ruby for a walk at the Victoria Park race course site on Sunday. For those that don’t know, this was a horse racing track and is situated in our parkland green belt around the city of Adelaide. There is a fiercely protective parks lands group who ensure that there is no new permanent development in the green belt. Adelaide hosts the Clipsal motor race annually and Victoria Park is the central hub. For 3-5 months leading up to the race temporary stands and race paraphernalia are constructed. The race occurs in late March and then for 2-3 months everything is deconstructed. This complies with the ‘no permanent structures’ agreement!
Ruby and I were lucky enough to find the gate to the stands area open and structures in various states of deconstruction – too good an opportunity for an opportunistic photographer – this is what I captured before I was asked (ever so nicely) to leave. Fun!!
Hipatamatic is a funky little retro app that provides square images with a neat border.
The app opens as a camera – front (above) or back. One can purchase additional films/filters/effects
There is an option to establish a Hipstaccount that lets you enter competitions, order prints and other ‘nifty things’ in the Hipsta online environment. One can also connect to FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and/or Flickr.
The filter selection system is more complex than other apps. One changes the film and lens to create a different effect. This makes impromptu decision making about image effects a lityle more challenging. Some of the images in this set were subjected to the ‘shake the camera to change the effect’ idea – randomises the outcome with some interesting results.
Here’s some results …
That’s it for today, enjoy Hipstamatic and hopefully I will see you tomorrow!
Thanks for coming over!
So today I thought I’d introduce 5 apps I have in my Photo Tools folder …
(I am not sure if I have mentioned that I have 80+ apps to cover in 30 days, so some days there will be a bonus edition!)
There are 2 light metres. The ‘Pocket Light Metre’ is in the first slot. One can get rid of the ads by either paying $5.49 (and thereby giving the developer a beer) or 99c. Either way, its a good idea – the ads can be annoying!Lots of flexibility and easy spin wheels to manage Time, Aperture and ISO. Simple!
The second light metre (by Horace Ho) requires one to select which function is to be altered and then use a slider to increase and decrease it. Not as simple to manage in my opinion, but, perfectly adequate for a free app. Again there is the option to get rid of the ads (99c or $3.99 with developer gift).
The third app is technically also a camera – it is a Self timer app. Defaults to 10 second delay, but is adjustable. Not ever found a use for delayed self shots (camera can be reversed) but I can see a purpose for the timer on the front camera.
Holga Clicks is a diamond of an app. If you have a bent for plastic cameras and experimentation, this is a great little tool. I loaded by Holga (jerry rigged it really) with 35mm film. Carefully taped up the film number view finder and then went ‘duh’ how do I know how many turns to make to advance the film successfully?? The app offers Holga and Diana options, mask sizes and then provides clicks, fractions or decimals. I love the clicks with my Holga – it has been spot on every time!!
The last app to check out today is ‘Posing App’. Another gem. It provides posing guides for photographers and models – for children, women,men, couples, groups, weddings and glamour shots. Clear line drawings help photographer and model to get started and feel confident that they’ll have some great angles for openers.
That’s it for today, enjoy these apps and hopefully I will see you tomorrow!!
My last series called “Seeing” had a number of great images that highlighted something in the foreground of an image, rather than the background. My favourite from that series was the post at Ayres Rock (Uluru – in the set again).
In this series I have extended that idea. I selected a number of Adelaide and environs iconic locations and highlighted something in the foreground as the focal point. These 15 images represent the extension of my original idea and will be part of my Camera 3 assessment at the Centre for Creative Photography next Tuesday.
Love some feedback!
People collect stamps, posters, cameras, jewelry, shoes, antiques … all sorts of things!! I have to admit to collecting a few cameras, but more importantly I collect photos of things … 10s, reflections, letterboxes … and ABANDONED LOUNGES!!
Many friends have let me know where there is a curbside reject and I have lovingly captured the previously loved chair for my collection.
A few favourites …
