Photoville seeking Kickstarter funds for Brooklyn Bridge Park project
“Photoville is a new Brooklyn-based photo destination - a veritable village of freight containers transformed into temporary exhibition spaces, taking place this summer from June 22 to July 1, 2012.”
“Maybe photography can’t live up to experience. Maybe photography steals away – or sullies – the preciousness of memory. After reading “Photographs Not Taken,” those moments of hesitation, so warmly shared, are far more arresting than some of the most engaging photographs.”
Map-A-Pic helps photographers scout locations
I haven’t tried this app, but I like the concept: Map-A-Pic helps photographers and filmmakers scout locations and take notes about them. (An Android version already exists.) “We’ve added the most-requested features in our iPhone release, such as location search and sharing locations on Twitter and Instagram,” says Pavel Sorokin, founder of Sea To Software. “The users have control over how much they want to share. If they choose to share the pictures, but keep the exact place private, they can do that.”
The app lets you save a location with its GPS coordinates and a photo. Each location can have up to 10 pictures attached to it. It costs $2.99.
The app is one of a number of apps, such as Easy Release, to help photographers, whether or not they’re shooting with their iPhones.
Interesting to see Hipstamatic and Instagram in this article, from a publication for the pros.
Useful list (and this blog makes the cut).
Phlib photo-mounting system
I gotta get this. Read about it at the iPhoneography blog.
No iPhoneography here, but lots of inspiration. Definitely check out the images from “Hurricane Story.” Wow.
Great comparison piece about Iconfactory’s Flare and Realmac Software’s Analog. As it says: “Both apps give you a variety of retro looks to choose from, and both can be quite simple to use. However, each app takes a slightly different approach to achieving an aged or vintage photo look—the differences in those approaches will likely appeal to different kinds of users.”
Instagram-like photo filters move beyond photography apps with Oink
So the new app Oink, from Digg co-founder Kevin Rose, lets you tag burgers, sushi, and whatever else you want, and take photos of them. OK, how does this relate to iPhone photography? Filters. The app lets you use filters with your images.
I’m wondering if we’ll see more of this—apps for other purposes (i.e., where photography isn’t the main draw) with Instagram-like filters.
“Scraping” of iPhone photos challenged in court case
SF Weekly is reporting on an lawsuit over Hipstamatic photos being “scraped” and republished by the Unofficial Guide to Hipstamatic app available at the App Store.
“Plaintiff Shanti Deva Korpi says an app called the Unofficial Guide to Hipstamatic ‘scrapes’ copyright-protected photos — taken using the popular Hipstamatic photo-enhancing app — from Flickr and republishes them,” according to the story.
It seems Hipstamatic isn’t happy about this, either.
“Hipstamatic is in no way affiliated with ‘The Unofficial Guide to Hipstamatic,’” Hipstamatic spokesman Mario Estrada said in a statement on the lawsuit. “We have asked them on numerous occasions to remove themselves from the App store because they are not a valid or trustworthy source for a guide.”
