Subscribe2010 was really slow year for me in photography. I didn’t take part in any photography competitions or exhibitions. I guess taking care of a small child and my day job has drained the creativity and energy out of me.
I started uploading some of my pictures taken with iPhone to another blog. Check it out. That Tumblr seems to be a great blogging platform by the way.
I’m contemplating with the idea of starting a picture a day project for next year. I did it once before and ended up with about 350 useless pictures. It’s a stupid idea.
I have no idea what she’s doing and she probably doesn’t know either.
Here’s couple of more pictures before all this snow piled up.
Lomographers often take pictures of their feet. I don’t why.
I went exploring an abandoned glass factory in Turenki and stumbled upon this old broken truck.
- I'm guessing lomo photographers take photos of their feet because they have trendy pants and nice shoes. I don't have either, I'm not lomographer, but I like to take photos of my feet too. Don't know why.December 3, 2010 - 09:51
- That first picture is absolutely adorable. My grandchild does strange things like that when she is a bit shy or apprehensive.December 3, 2010 - 23:08
- The first picture is great.December 3, 2010 - 23:10
- Absolutely adorable. The lamp almost seems alive... like its trying desperately to get away! December 4, 2010 - 02:55
There’s many ‘toy camera’ apps for iPhone and Hipstamatic is probably the most popular. This Retro Camera Plus is a very strong competitor in my opinion and it’s free! In some ways it’s even better. I like the fact that you can’t choose film and lens separately with Retro Camera Plus. There’s too much combinations of film and lenses in Hipstamatic for my simple mind and it’s also slower in processing than this.
I don’t like ‘Pinhole camera’ and ‘Little orange box’ in this app because the frames are a bit over the top for my taste. ‘The Bärbl’, ‘Xolaroid’ and ‘FudgeCam’ are great. ‘FudgeCam’ comes probably closest to a real toy camera like Holga as I have seen in any app.
The key to any kind of toy camera type photography is to keep composition as simple as possible. That is even more critical with cell phone cameras because depth of field is infinite due to the small censor.
Here’s few pictures from winterly Helsinki with Retro Camera Plus.
Above pictures are all taken with the ‘The Bärbl’ setting.
This one was taken with ‘FudgeCam’.
This installation was in a court yard of a mental institute. I have no idea what is going on here. Maybe they run out of place to put their laundry to dry.
Color photographs above ware taken with ‘Xolaroid’.’
‘Little orange box’ effect here.
‘Pinhole camera’ sample.
- Is it just me or is fake film edges horribly annoying? I understand that the whole toy camera look is "fake" to begin with, but still...November 27, 2010 - 23:20
- I feel your pain. I might start cropping the frames and just get the other effects. November 28, 2010 - 07:03
- Näköjää samat softat löytyy androidiinkiDecember 1, 2010 - 09:34
- Flickrin kautta löysin tänne. Nämä on aika mageita. Toki samantyyppisiä voi tehdä kuvankäsittelylläkin, mutta jokin näissä kiehtoo. Sääli, että on vain Nokian puhelin, eihän siihen näitä softia saa...? :(December 16, 2010 - 01:33
