It's Hip to be Square!


We at PT4U are big fans of our iPhones and love the huge range of photography apps available for them. We are planning a series of blog posts to highlight our favourites.

The Godfather of all photography apps in our opinion is the Hipstamatic.


















In their own words "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 from the past".


















Once you have installed the app it's so simple to use. The initial app comes with a great variety of lenses, film types and flash options. You simply choose a one of each to create the final look of the image. It's all based around simple looks from colour to black and white. Then the lens with give a different finish or frame to your image. The different choice of flash can also change your image to add a colour tint or simply brighten the image.


















When you first start to use it it will take a little time to get used to the combinations to create the image styles you like. Also we recommend you set the image to the highest quality. Also we find it best to set the view finder to center in the settings option. As we said earlier it comes with a great variety of lenses, films and flash types to start with but you can also buy additional packs to give you more film types and lenses and flash effects. This is a must app for all iPhone owners.
