Hipstamatic une application qui simule les effets d'anciennes optiques ?
Maintenant le petit capteur de l'Iphone a des avantages notamment concernant la profondeur de champ immense

Steve Bucknell replied to DOMCHO:

It’s an app that overlays some superficial colours, frames, and distortions on the original photo image. It may mimic some optical effects. The iPhone is an effective tool for image making, but an image like this also relies on my efforts, lying on my back on the damp ground and reaching through the barred door of an old pottery kiln with my iPhone to get a good angle. It also relies on me remembering the Bosch painting Ascent of the Blessed and ‘ putting two and two together’ and taking the image in that direction with the most appropriate Hipstamatic filter I could find. I challenge myself, and, hopefully, a viewer to make new connections, smile, think etc.
