My favourite things #1

antler-necklace

Here’s two of my favourite things in one.
The first, Poladroid - an instant picture creator for digital photos.
It almost makes me not want a Polaroid camera, almost.

The second, my new prized accessory.
Yes, that’s a pair of antlers, my dear.

CameraBag for the iPhone

This is really quite a clever idea. Take a dreadful digital camera (the one on the iPhone), then make a little app to manipulate the images to look like Holga or Lomo shots. It works brilliantly.

CameraBag was originally £4.99, but it’s now only £1.79 in the App Store. I don’t know how long that’ll last for, but i’d snap it up (pardon the pun) while it’s on offer.

I could of course, manipulate my iPhone photographs in Photoshop to do the same thing, but quite frankly, I can’t be bothered. This app is a delight to use, and I like the pause as you wait to see how your photographs will turn out. So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Blackbird, fly

A twin lens, 35mm camera - which looks like a toy medium format camera. Oh joy! It’s wonderful and I want one. These have only just been released in Tokyo, apart from a lucky few who were able to try out the camera - in return for their films being used in promotional material.
