We had fresh strawberries for dessert tonight. The photo was taken with the Hipstamatic app and tuned up just a bit in FilmLab.

...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.

Strawberries are my favourite fruit, but these seem so dark, is that the way they were prepared or the effect you used please?
ReplyDeleteThat's the effect--the strawberries were a luscious bright red. The Hipstamatic app emulates a type of camera made briefly in the 70s: The original Hipstamatic was the invention of two Wisconsin brothers, Bruce and Winston Dorbowski. In the winter of 1982 they came up with what their big brother Richard later called "a million dollar idea for bringing photographic art to the masses cheaply" -- a camera inspired by the popular Kodak Instamatic (and probably by the Russian Lomo) but made entirely of plastic, right down to the lens. The brothers set up a fabricating shop in a tiny cabin on the banks of the Wisconsin River and got to work. Over the next 18 months they produced just 157 cameras, at $8.25 retail apiece. In the summer of 1984 they were on their way home from signing the lease on a new production facility when they were killed by a drunk driver. Nine years later the family lost most of the brothers' photos and work archives in a fire, and the Hipstamatic slipped into the half-light of photo history.
ReplyDeleteYum! Strawberries are my favorite fruit. I am wondering the same thing as Ron. They do look dark. I'm guessing it was the effect you used though.
ReplyDeleteI loved your explanation of the
ReplyDeleteHipstamatic application...what cool history behind it! When I looked at the pic small I almost thought chocolate was added to the strawberries (or maybe I was wishing) LOL
They look chocolate-covered! Yummy... :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the treatment and background.
ReplyDeleteWonderful treatment! It does have that coloration of a 70's photo. (without the bad hair!:))
ReplyDeleteIt's a great image and a fascinating story to go with it. Love this picture.
ReplyDeleteBobbie, thanks for taking the time to explain about the camera/setting. It does make foe an interesting technique/art form.
