Instagram at lunch
Taking photos on my lunch hour, listening to music, and publishing on the web, all from a smartphone. It takes the sting out of not having a jetpack in this iteration of The Future.
Unfortunately, I had to try 3 different locations to get a 3G connection from AT&T.

Complaining about the iPhone’s camera?
Kyle Cassidy’s take on the iPhone’s camera, from his iPhonetography site:
THE CAMERA THAT COMES WITH THE iPHONE IS TERRIBLE
Many people decry it’s smallish megapixel count (3), but really, as any serious digital photographer will tell you, size doesn’t matter. The most frustrating thing about the image that comes from the iPhone is the noise. Not audible noise, but digital grain. That, and it’s slow response time, and of course, the lack of control: apart from aiming the camera and depressing shutter button, the user doesn’t have any control over aperture (fixed at 2.8) focal length, shutter speed, or even ISO, which swings from ~70 into the 1000+ range as it wants. The 3Gs has a “press here to focus” option that does adjust the exposure, but seems to refocus as it sees fit afterwards, more taunt than feature.

Yes, I’ve gotten that iPhone “plastic cam app” fever that’s going around.
Camerabag, More iPhone Camera Fun
I had a lot of fun with Hipstamatic, the iPhone camera application that’s taking my Facebook friends list by storm. It does feel odd to buy a $1.99 app to turn my $199 cameraphone into a $2 plastic camera, but there <<are>> benefits to going digital – for less than the cost of a roll of 120 film, I can shoot endless square format pictures.
I tried CameraBag, another fun photo manipulation app. This app doesn’t have the mind-mangling number of unintuitive film/lens combos that Hipstamatic has. I think I like it better.
The Camerabag filter names make more sense, at least – helga, lomo, 1974, fisheye.

Photojojo’s Ultimate Hipstamatic Guide
Have you downloaded Hipstamatic from the iTunes store yet? It turns your iPhone into a retro camera with a number of effects. There are lens effects, film effects and flash effects that can be layered on top of each other.
A HUGE number of effects. Effects with bewildering names, like Kaimal, Helga (we can figure THAT one out), Dreampop, Kodot, Roboto, and my favorite, Jimmy.
Thankfully, the folks at Photojojo have come out with PhotoJojo’s Ultimate Hipstamatic Guide, showing examples of all 336 possible layered effects.
