John S Lens + Combinations

More often than not I see a lot of John S lens' being used through the publics Hipstamatic compositions. The Field Guide for the app even suggests that it is a great started lens to use which flattering shadows and highlights.
This my first Lens sample post and I will continuing through each, using the suggested combinations from the Hipstamatic Field Guide by my own samples as well as experimenting with some of other films as well.

What I just love about this marriage of lens and film is how perfect they go together, particularly the way they bring out such detail and texture in this image, I took early 2011. I only used this combination to begin with, before I gathered up some photographic confidence to start using the other lenses and films. I think, however, I will I always come back to this one.

Another suggestion from the Hipstamatic Field Guide. This collaboration enhances cool tones and creates a neat and creative contrast between textures on my Panda hat.

I used this film in yesterdays B+W post but with a different lens. This combination with the John S Lens you get a very desaturated look, which creates a moody feel. The dated boarder comes included. I had a go at using the RedEye Flash with this image but it didn't shine through, so wouldn't recommend it as MUST, however in the near future I hope to be posting an overview of the flashes that Hipstamatic have to offer.. I came up with this quick composition called "Mirror Mirror". This is also another suggestion from the Hipstamatic Field Guide for this lens.


I hope to update this post once I have continued to experiment with the John S Lens.
Have any suggestions for combinations? Let me know and I'll be happy to try them out.

Hipstmatic 231 (part 2)...

Yesterday I began a behind the scenes tutorial of the Hipstamatic 231 Photography App for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is my favourite app at the moment and I just would like to share with you what it does.

I began with showing the Lenses that are available as well as ones that you can purchase for a small price and today I shall continue to showcase the fifteen films that you can mix and match with the Lenses to create a really personified photo. Like I've said. You don't have to be a photographic genius to take good pictures with this app, but you could say it helps.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow... The Wizard of Oz...

I'm excited to post yet some more of my Hipstamatic photos today. I went on a trip to London with my parents today to see the new version of The Wizard of Oz at the famous Palladium Theatre. It was enough for me to know that The Beatles had played there and so the rest of my excitement blossomed.


Before the matinee performance I also took a peak down Carnaby Street which was also famous but as a shopping district in the 60's.

My 18th Hipstamatic 365 photo can be found on Flickr. These are just extra photos I would like to share.
