On a camping trip in Nova Scotia. Love this app, and everything else from @brambos…
@brambos you need to couple this with Mozaic so we can “roll our own” cameras! 😂
An editor for the presets would allow an additional revenue stream for ‘film simulations’ etc.
I love using this camera!
It reminds me of Hipstamatic with its’ film sims.
The app has a "time travel" mode? Impressive!
That's some seriously cool photos .. 👌
Love the width!
.
I love your "photojournalist" style! You're really capturing the place like a National Geographic photographer.
That sky really comes to life in the panoramic format
Epic cat shot! No matter how large or wide your frame is, a cat always manages to fill it completely
Yep, and no matter how big the bed they manage to possess most of it too.
(That's an epic cat too btw, 24 pounds / 11 kilos. Nothin' but air between the ears tho.)
I want a random RuisMaker Noire sound or pattern every time I hit the shutter/drum hit button.
There is a strong medieval feeling in your photos, I got an impression of comfort and peaceful life in Nova Scotia. Fantastic place, fantastic photos. 🤩 What’s that game in front of the guitar?
Omg, gorditas face with mariachi crown, haha. 😋🫶There is a strong indication of passion, music, and dance in your city. You managed to elevate these feelings to the roof with your fantastic photography skills.
This is so much fun, @brambos! How technically impossible would it be to make this record video?
That’s fantastic, random Noir kick sound. But I think you can’t mute system shutter sound because of the law in some countries. BTW, great photo, cool idea.
Hi, @brambos and thanks for looking into the raw issue. The purpose in it for me was not to edit anything but to be able to save images out of the app at the highest possible quality for print. I want ideally to be able to put the pics I take on my walls at the largest size possible. Don’t know how that plays into the technical issues.
Sidenote: your bargain of an app has just cost me a lot more money.
After my recent Lakeland trip to try it out, I rediscovered my enthusiasm for black and white landscape photography, which dragged me down a medium format rabbit hole to buying this:
And even while I wait for it to arrive, I find my eyes straying to this:
https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/products/intrepid-4x5-camera
I won’t call it cheap, but it seems like a heck of a camera for landscape, for £350, plus about the same again for a vintage second hand lens.
Ah, I see. I already save the images in maximum quality (which is higher than Apple's own Camera app iirc). But I could look into giving an option to use HEIC instead of JPEG, which is even marginally better quality - and more space efficient - than max quality JPEG.
Ha! Sorry about that
Yes, B&W is great fun - especially when you're shooting black and white instead of doing it in PP. It forces you to look at scenes with a B&W-eye. It's part of the fun (at least to me).
I have one of those! My most used medium format camera is my Holga though. That thing is rock and roll! I also have a Bronica SQA system, but it's the Holga that burns through the majority of 120 HP5+.
@klownshed : Interesting! I am a total photography noob, all previous adventures have been iPhone or a little Canon pocket camera which shoots raw and has manual controls but I don’t really understand. What Holga specifically? I saw that prices for the Bronica SQA weren’t bad… I only want to take one kind of photo with film, (most likely 120 for the time being), a visual complement to my Dark Ambient audio fixation. For me, this means square format, vast landscapes, threatening (red filter) skies, and super grainy, high contrast maybe infra red or x Ray stock, stark b&w images. I’ll be going via Analogue Wonderland’s service to process the films, then preview and print suitable candidates at as large a scale as I can get away with. (I have no interest at this stage in getting into developing and printing my own films.)
Would you - or anyone? - have any recommendations for lens type, film type, photo settings to achieve this, at the budget end ? (Max £1000 for camera & lens, cheaper if poss.)
Example of the sort of thing in image quality/mood I’m going for (though grainier is better…)
Sort of angry Ansel Adams… Perhaps crossed with Anthony Friedkin:
I have a crazy plan to do occasional site specific audio-field-recordings-plus-images as the basis of more evolved combined noise works in future.
Grainy is easy, you just use faster film (higher ISO) and underexpose, but you need to compensate for the underexposure in the developing.
Developing black and white film is actually quite easy. You don't need a darkroom, just a dark bag, a film canister and some chemicals. Other than that a timer and a thermometer are all you really need.
As for the Holga, mine is a Holga 120N:

to keep things a little bit on topic, they made/make a panoramic version!

I am ordering the 16 pro max and can’t wait to try this out with the new 48mp ultra wide. I am not a great photographer at all but there are a couple spots I want to try to capture around here in northwest Arkansas. Fall is going to have a lot of colors with the leaves, will be interesting to see what magic this camera has in store.
@Svetlovska
As for higher quality medium format, an SQ-A with an 80mm (which is like a 50mm on 35mm cameras more or less) and a 50mm would be grand.
A 50mm on an SQ-A would allow photos similar to the one you posted above. It can be done for under £1000 if you're patient. The weak spot on the SQ-As is the film back, but many are available.
Years ago I bought a Mamiya Press camera with a 9x6 back for those kinds of images but never got around to using it. I think I'll sell it soon. I bought loads of cameras when people couldn't give them away at the dawn of digital, but some never got the love they need...
Ok, real noob question. Higher ISO, so 400 is higher than 100, yes? (Confused on this because the description of a film I thought I’d try from Analogue Wonderland is a low ISO, relatively, (100) but recommended for grain:
https://analoguewonderland.co.uk/products/washi-f-film-120-fluorographic-b-w-iso-100
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0005/1435/9356/files/F100_en.pdf?v=1592414212
And… under expose. Is that setting the shutter speed faster?
I know, I know, I need to go read some books, but hey… If I can dial in a good starting recipe, it can’t hurt, right?
Update: Ooh! That Holga Panoramic looks interesting! Thanks for pointing it out!
The update currently waiting for review will bring EXIF data and Location Data, and a version of the B&W mode with slightly tamed response to high contrast outdoor shooting.
The one after that will have the option to save as lossless HEIC files.
Great news! 👍 B/W mode was almost unusable.
@brambos: Excellent!
Yes, higher ISO is bigger number. HP5+ is rated at 400 and the higher the ISO, generally speaking, the larger the size of the physical grains on the film.
if you underexpose, you shoot at either a faster shutter speed or smaller aperture than metered. So if the meter says f8 at 1/100 you can shoot at f8 1/100 which would be 1 stop slow or f8/1/200 which would be two stops slow. Each stop is a doubling of the exposure. So when you choose +1 on an exposure compensation dial you are doubling the exposure, literally exposing the film to twice as much light.
Underexposing then developing for longer brings out much more grain. Some films are inherently grainy. Back in the day the film companies tried to basically eliminate grain. lol.
I've uploaded some examples of the Lubitel, Holga and SQ-A are here to save clogging the thread with non XP4N photos: https://meestersmeeeth.uk/photos/
Thank you
Do you still plan on adding the second BW mode?
