Portraits are fun using the Hipstamatic Camera application. I tend to use one film and lens combo with Hipsta - JohnS and KodotGrizzled. I like the way they render the skin tone, and, specifically like the the look if the image in a flat front light. For me that is just the beginning....I usually play with softness, structure and color trying to make the eyes draw the viewer into the image. This can be accomplished using Snapseed, Filterstorm and blender....

Hipstamatic Portraits

Hobby Horse, Copenhagen

My main use for the Hipstamatic Camera is for portrait and still life work. I use only one lens and one film type most of the time - JohnS and Kodot Grizzled.. I like the edges and resolution so I stick to it. Of course I do experiment from time to time but usually go back to that combination.

This image is from 2010 on a visit to Copenhagen....

It has been awhile since I have used NIK's Silver EFX Pro 2. Recently I have been processing some of my iPhone4s Hipstamatic images with SFX2 achieving results that I am quite happy with....NIK has made several upgrades and these new features give the user a bit more control over the image...

Today's image fromt he beach in Ireland looking out at the Dingle Peninsula....Hipstamatic - JohnS lens with Kodot Grizzled film...As you can tell yet another windy, rainy afternoon....but it certainly does add some character....
