Colorado tends to have really deep blue skies, so back in the film days it was always fun to shoot with a red filter over the lens. It would turn the blue skies to black and would make the clouds really pop. Of course, today’s technology has rendered the red filter pretty much useless, but it is always nice to get that dramatic look. This photo was shot using #Hipstamatic with #JohnS lens and #BlacKeysSuperGrain film. No post processing necessary. #monochrome #dpbw
Here is another image from over on that other photo sharing site. This is Molly playing on the iPad while waiting for her dinner. It ‘s really amazing how the iDevices just seem to multiply. What did we spend our money on back before the iPod/iPad/iPhone? #byebyeinstagram #Hipstamatic #JohnS #BlacKeysBW #portrait
What is a photo stream without a self portrait? This is me sitting at my dining room table testing various #Hipstamatic lenses and film types. In this case you are looking at the #LuciferVI lens and #BlackKeysBW film (which actually isn’t B&W at all, it’s just highly desaturated color). In this shot I was testing this combination’s response to the contrasty light. I think it looks cool, but not very flattering for a #portrait. By the way, this is an older image that was shot with my 4th Generation iPod Touch. Hence the high level of noise and low resolution. #selfportrait #discoverpressgram
