Camerabag, More iPhone Camera Fun

Posted on by Kurt Weiske

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.

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.

Thankfully, the folks at Photojojo have come out with PhotoJojo’s Ultimate Hipstamatic Guide, showing examples of all 336 possible layered effects.

Hipstamatic is an iPhone app that gives your photos a film/plastic camera feel. While there are many other holganizers and lomo-fiers available for iPhones, this is the first application I’ve fallen in love with. At $1.99, I couldn’t pass it up!

From their press materials:

Digital photography never looked so analog. The Hipstamatic for iPhone is an application that brings back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras of the past. The application keeps the the quirks of shooting old school but gives you the ability to swap lenses, film, and flash settings all with the swipe of a finger.
