Two quick photography notes to share.
First… is today a NLD? What is NLD? New Lens Day! I ordered a 28mm f2.8 Nikon Z mount lens from Best Buy. Will I get it today or will I have to wait another day? I don’t know yet. I’ll find out when I find out.
Second… All of those lame iPhone photos I’ve been sharing over the last few weeks, the ones with all the heavy filters, were taken with an app called Hipstamatic which was super popular in the early days of the iPhone but was sort of blown out of the water by Instagram. I still like it, mostly because it’s so over the top, but also because I’ve spent a small fortune on in-app purchases (filters, which it releases as film and lenses) so every so often I feel the need to use it to justify the expenditure. Anyway, Hipstamatic has tried to reinvent itself a few times. Currently there is Hipstamatic Classic, which is the one I use, and Hipstamatic X.
I messed around with Hipstamatic X a bit today. It doesn’t have the random lens/film setting (which Classic calls Shake to Shuffle and I use all the time) so really, what’s the point? I did setup some combos though and maybe I’ll use it once in a while, but I think I will stick to the Classic version.
These were taken with Hipstamatic X:
So were these:
