Stop-motion film with Hipstamatic — and how to do it
I really want to try one of these. And here’s a CNET article explaining how.
Here’s what TechCrunch has to say: “The app is a real-time, facial recognition mobile camera app for iPhone that automatically identifies your friends by name before or after you take their their photo. To use the app, you have to configure it with your Facebook account, as that’s how it learns who you friends are. You don’t, however, have to immediately share the pictures you take using KLIK on Facebook — that part is optional.”

Will Apple buy Lytro?
To be honest, I’d been wondering why this hasn’t happened already, given the suggestions, from Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs, that Jobs wanted to reinvent photography, along with textbooks and television.
Now along comes another book about Apple, and it gives credence to the idea of Apple integrating Lytro technology into the iPhone. Lytro’s founder certainly thinks the technology would make sense in smartphones. And the new book, Inside Apple, details a meeting between Jobs and Lytro’s Ren Ng. With the Lytro technology, you would be able to take a shot, and then afterward, adjust what’s in focus in the shot and other characteristics.
“The percent of photos taken with a smartphone (Apple iPhone or any other smartphone) went from 17 last year to 27 [in 2011] while the share of photos taken on any camera dropped from 52 percent to 44 percent.”
From a report on smartphones and photography from the NPD group.

The Next Web: Why the iPhone should have a dedicated physical shutter button
Really smart, thoughtful case for this—though I don’t see it happening anytime soon.
As Matthew Panzarino says: “If Apple were taking the position that ‘hey, there’s a camera on the iPhone, go ahead and use it if you want’, then this wouldn’t be such a big deal. But it’s not. It’s effectively positioning the iPhone as a replacement for any camera that doesn’t allow manual exposure. In other words, it wants it to be the camera that you grab when you take a quick shot of your family, your food, your vacation view. If it wants to truly make the iPhone a useful and comfortable camera, as well as a phone, it needs to add a dedicated hardware shutter button, period.”
