Hipstamatic DSPO Review: initial thoughts & general usage

Hipstamatic DSPO? What’s that? In short, it’s a new sharable, mock-disposable camera from Hipstamatic. In this multi-part review, I first start and shoot a Camera, in screenshot form. Then, I comment on the filters,  share the pictures from a couple of Cameras, share a fun extra, and wrap up with my thoughts on a couple …

Snapseed vs…

So is the Workaround worth it? For some things, maybe… but it’s really just another image toy. So here’s the Original.And here’s the Snapseed edit.Compare that to a similar edit from Enlight. Pretty similar… Except for the Glow filter in Snapseed (which I quite like), and all the borders and artistic filters and whatnot in …

Did 2.0.1 fix the problem with Snapseed?

So I noticed that Snapseed had a bug-fix update after work today, and eagerly installed it. Did 2.0.1 squash the bug? Before I get to that, I thought of something I forgot to check earlier… the newfangled Photos app I won’t be using… Sadly, it doesn’t see the edits either. (This was likely a silly …

Snapseed 2 has a problem…

As it’s readily available from the lock screen, I most often shoot with the iPhone’s built-in camera …

Hipstamatic Disposable update 11 – 3 years later

From the Archives: the CyberShot DSC-T9

My second digital camera—if you don’t count the one in that Nokia phone, if it even had a camera, and I don’t think it did… I don’t even recall what phone that was, so I don’t—was the Sony CyberShot DSC-T9. I bought it in 2006 and carried it around fairly religiously until the iPhone 4. …

Flowers: C-5050/D7000/FG

This is, admittedly, sort of a random, grab-bag of leftovers. Let’s look at them in order of sensor size. Once again, digital wins in terms of contrast, color and saturation; film wins in terms of soul. And, again, they’re all pictures, and all have some sort of purpose. It’s probably more preference than anything. I …
