Mobile Art Monday No. 28

Hipstamatic may be the best quick photo effect app there is in app-land. I often forget to use it. Sometimes I'll find a subject and a lens and filter combo that just work and then a take a million photos. That's what happened in the sunflower field last week. As a result I decided to do '31 days of Hipstamatic Sunflowers' on Instagram. I am sharing those on Facebook also.

Ok, I didn't take a million photos but I ended up with 357 shots on my phone, of which 259 were Hipsta shots. And that was just Monday. I went back on Wednesday and took more.

My first favorite combo I'll feature today is with Ina's 1982 film and the Tejas lens. It makes great blue skies and gorgeous sunflowers. Here are just a few.

On Wednesday I went prepared for some selfies but wasn't anticipating such high humidity. Oh well, I've had worse 'bad hair' days. Hipstamatic doesn't have a timer that I know of so when you use a remote you have about a half second to hide it.

 Here are a few bloopers.

This one makes me laugh!

And my gear for the day.

Have a great Monday!

Hipsta Peonies

Once in awhile I am reminded to use the great Hipstagram app on my phone. I have a few favorite combinations saved, so it makes it easy if I know the look I'm going for. Sometimes its a surprise.
I was glad I remembered to shoot some of my peonies with the Hipstamatic Camera as I played with set ups this past week. I really like the way they turned out.
It all started with this shot…

Bette XL lens and Dream Canvas film. This is my most favorite combination for a soft pastel look.

Bette XL lens and Ina's 1982 film, (bright)

Tejas lens and Dream Canvas film. The Tejas lens is another favorite with nearly any film.

Bette XL lens and Dream Canvas film. If you rotate your 'camera' to shoot the light leaks and borders will be in a different orientation. You'll just need to rotate your photo afterwards.

Bette XL lens and Dream Canvas film. Notice how different these last two look with the same lens and film. The lighting was different too and I believe that made a difference.

Tejas lens and Dream Canvas film. Rhonna Designs word art.

Melodie lens and Ina's 1982 film.

Tejas lens and Kodot XGrizzled film. I love the skinny grungy white edge of this XGrizzled film.
The peonies are nearing their finale but I'll have lots of proof they were here.
