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.
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 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 [...]
these are a few (more) of my favourite things
Who doesn’t love using cool stuff to make their day to day survival more pleasing and less hassle? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’ll trawl the interwebz looking for cool stuff to buy or install, in the name of streamlining or at least aesthetically enhancing my workflow or daily routine, or just because [...]

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 [...]
OMG! iPhone gallery updated!
I wasn’t completely happy with the iPhone gallery I started a few weeks ago. Two reasons really – wasn’t aesthetically pleasing any more, and had an annoying (none-existent) content management system that meant I had to re-upload the whole gallery every time I wanted to change one picture. I changed over to the latest version [...]
new iPhone photography page on ‘my glass eye’
I already use Flickr to host my iPhone photos that are worth sharing, as well as displaying the most recent 5 in the sidebar on the front page of this blog, but I decided I wanted somewhere on this site to properly showcase them so I’ve just added a new page – iPhone photos. I [...]
QuadCamera – my all new favourite iPhone camera app
I’ve got a new obsession on my iPhone, and it’s name is QuadCamera (made by Takayuki Fukatsu and available on the iTunes App Store here, currently £1.19 but apparently it will go up in price after the next update). It’s basically a software application of the popular Lomo Supersampler cameras, one of which currently resides [...]
Westfield, or “Photography, blogging & the iPhone”
(This was going to be a post about some iPhone photos I took at Westfield recently, but started to become an iPhone post instead! Photos at the bottom…) So here at mge towers we’re still devoid of connection to the real world, er, I mean The Internet. My iPhone has been pushed to the limit [...]
i like my iPhone camera
I’ve been playing around a lot with the iPhone camera since I got my 3G iPhone a few months ago. I got Camerabag (£1.79 at time of writing) pretty early on, as it processes images from your Photo Library or can even capture directly from the camera itself. The selection of filters it can then [...]
