my mostly positive review of Hipstamatic Disposable
Hipstamatic Disposable brings some fresh ideas to the iPhone photo app model and is a delight to use, but some of the in-app purchases may rub you up the wrong way, and there’s a nasty bug going round.
How to replace Instagram 2.0 with Instagram 1.x.x
A lot of people feel like Instagram 2.0 ruined all the filters. Here’s a way to get your old version of the app back.
Instagram 2.0 review: Insta-grumble
Instagram has been my favourite iPhone photo app for about a year now. It doesn’t have the nebulous wealth of filter options of PictureShow or the ubiquitous Hipstamatic but it’s simple, effective, social and fun; the dozen or so filters are varied and distinct; it includes a tilt-shift effect; it exports with just one tap [...]
all new Hipstamatic at-a-glance
There’s been quite a few Hipstamatic lens/film packs released since I last posted my ‘every lens and film combination’ image last year. Actually, it turns out that a few of them were limited edition and they aren’t available any more. I stopped using Hipstamatic for quite a while and I missed a couple of these, [...]
if you like Hipstamatic, you’ll love these
There’s dozens of retro processing apps in the App Store, but Hipstamatic has captured the ol’ zeitgeist and it’s great that so many people are interested in it because it’s a cool wee photo app. I love it – to the extent that I created a huge matrix of all the lens/film combinations possible at [...]
my plastic eye – the ‘hipstamatic’ look for Photoshop
iPhone photo apps have sparked a surge in popularity of retro camera styles, emulating the imperfect plastic lenses and saturated colours of Lomo cameras in particular, and for months now the regular number one photo app has been Hipstamatic (which I wrote about here). There are others – I was a big fan of Camerabag [...]
pictureshow – stealing hipstamatic’s crown
The iPhone photo app market is saturated with apps to replicate the retro look. It’s probably a fad that should be on it’s last legs, but the apps keep coming and truth be told I do still like the look when it suits the image so purists be damned! For the last few months I’ve [...]
my latest iPhone toy: hipstamatic
(UPDATE: if you’re reading this you might be interested in a Photoshop action I wrote to sort of emulate the look of these retro camera styles – have a read of this article after you’re done here. Okay, as you were!) I recently went off iPhone photography for a while. I’d set myself the goal [...]

what’s happening with iPhone camera apps?
I love my iPhone for all sorts of reasons. One of them is that although it has a terrible camera (as mobile phone cameras go – and yes, even the new 3GS camera is pretty crappy in comparison to the rest of the market), it’s fun to use. Because I take my phone everywhere, I [...]
