Wow! It sure has been a long time since I wrote on my blog but not for the sake of trying. My computer booted me out and shut down about 3 times in the last couple of months. I thought computers were supposed to make our lives easier. Now I type it out in word and transfer it all.
This summer has been one of the busiest ones since we have moved here four years ago. So far just in the last 2 months involved camping, a family trip to Winnipeg, a trip to Las Vegas (the temperature in the middle of the night was 38 degrees…hotter than any given summer day so far here), a very busy 2nd birthday party for my little prince and of course the duties of yard work and housework (which never seems to end as a mother). In fact I have been so busy that I have not attended the May, June or July’s scrapbook class with Roxanne. I am really hoping to make it to Augusts. Nothing planned so far and I am REALLY happy about that!!!!
I wanted to share this new app on my phone called Hipstamatic for any of you iPhone lovers out there. It is truly a great photo app for taking really neat pictures. My sister-in-law got my hooked on it. I believe you initially pay $1.99 for the app and if you would like additional lenses and films each cost $0.99. Here is a list of some of my favourites:
1. Lens: John S
Film: Kodot XGrizzled with the flash off.
……This adds a vintage “just out of the dryer” look to your prints
2. Lens: John S
Film: Float with the flash off
……This adds a pleasant warm tone to your prints.
3. Lens: John S
Film: Ina’s 1935 with the flash off
…….This film is clean and beautiful. Needless to say the photograph speaks for itself. Another favourite of Ina’s is 1969…this also adds a vintage look to your photos.
4. Lens: Lucifer VI
Film: Kodot XGrizzled
.....Makes it a little rough around the edges
These are just a few of 10 films that you can choose from, I save the pictures and email them to myself and print them on my photo printer instead of sending them away to get printed….it is cheaper to do it yourself. It’s a neat app if you want to add something different to your photos.
Well I thought I would share this with everyone and if you have an IPhone try it, you won’t be disappointed…..I promise!!!!
