Tintype Onion: A Workflow

Hipstamatic just released the Tintype SnapPak, and I love the richness and depth of its texture and colour with both the C-Type Plate colour and D-Type Plate black and white films combined with the Tinto 1884 lens, so I decided to, of course, showcase it with Onion, the handsomest of my three cats. The internet does need its cats, doesn't it?

I took the original photo with Hipstamatic using the Tinto 1884 lens, C-Type Plate film, and no flash:



Then, I opened the image in Camera+. I clicked Edit » Scenes » Clarity:



Before and after:



I'm looking forward to trying this film out in the light of day. I'm curious to see how it will handle bright snow. I'll keep you posted!

Sunday Morning Coffee: A Workflow

Take the original photo with Hipstamatic using the Adler 9009 lens and RTV film:



Then, open the image in Camera+, click Edit » Scenes » Auto. Then, click FX Effects » Retro » Fashion » Intensity , and then drag the slider left until it is at 33%. Save it to the Camera Roll.



Open the photo in Instagram. Then, click Lo-fi » click on the small square in the upper left to remove the frame.



Before and after:



And there you have a rather lovely looking Palinode having his morning coffee. I didn't want to forget the red of his sweater in the fall morning light.

Voilà!



Before and after:



This is my kitty Onion sleeping in the sun, having the nap I wish I was having.

And, yes, I realize that the second photo is perfectly fine as is, but Percolator's too much fun not to play with, don't you think?

The Palinode At Breakfast: A Workflow

The original was taken with Camera+.



I then opened the original photo in Vintique and cropped it square. I used the Old Time filter, clicked Edit Filter, and turned off the Red Texture, Noise, and Hightlight layers.



Before and after:



I took this photo over breakfast with the Palinode at Tangerine, where they make a different kind of winning savoury tart every day.

They don't pay me to say this. I just like to spread the good word.

Two Men: A Workflow

The original was taken with ShakeItPhoto.
