I think I’ve figured out why I’m so fascinated with the Hipstamatic Rock BW-11 film and John S. Lens. Remember those “ghost hunter” television shows where they would use some sort of special film or photography to document a spirit? I’ve always been fascinated by such, and that’s what it feels like I’m doing with this equipment, because there’s such a mysterious element to the results you get with Hipstamatic. It’s not just a filter — each snapshot is a unique reaction to the amount of light, movement, or other elements in the frame. Either that, or my cat Lily just might be on to something when she follows light on the ceiling… what we refer to as “Hunting Ceiling Ghosts.”
Have you ever photographed a ghost? What’s your preferred way to add textures to photos? Do you love/hate Hipstamatic? Tell us in the comments!
That is definitely a ghost. Although I have to say, ceiling cat >>>>>>>> ceiling ghost.
ReplyDeleteShe's a dedicated hunter, that's for sure. Ha.
ReplyDeleteI have a Holga lens contraption for my iPhone (http://lofiphotog.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/holga-lens-filter-for-iphone/) and my son uses the green filter to take what he calls 'ghost pictures'. Maybe my five-year-old should stop watching 'Ghost Hunters' with his two older sisters?
ReplyDeleteHe's not just watching 'Ghost Hunters' — he's living it!
ReplyDeletethat ghostly photo is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I'm convinced it's a good ghost in the house... so far. ;)

ReplyDelete[...] A while back at a thrift shop I came across this beast of some old technology. I remember in grade school there being several cubbies with these things in them that played cassette tapes while advancing a reel of slide film that was projected on this giant screen. It seemed appropriate to me to capture it using my iPhone with an app that mimics “vintage” photos, Hipstamatic. [...]
