We all love our “toy” cameras. And when we say “toy,” we mean the little LOMO and other Russian gadget cameras we’ve loved using throughout the years. They take unique images, and they encourage you to just shoot whatever you want to shoot, which really should be the way to take photographs when travelling. Anyway, we still love the folks over at LOMO (at least two of us at HK Magazine are guilty of owning multiple cameras from the brand) but recently many are using an iPhone app called Hipstamatic (hipstamaticapp.com). The app helps you take digital pictures that look just like analog (giving the image the same toy cameras hues we so adore), and has different “lenses” and “films” for you to choose from to create different effects (just like film cameras, but with less hassle and bulky equipment). You can also buy add-on packs to increase the number of lenses and films you can choose from. And of course, as it’s an app, it also makes it easy to upload pictures onto your favorite photo sharing sites (so no more scanning then uploading). The app is now available for US$1.99 on iTunes. Now the only problem is acquiring an iPhone.
