iPhone + Lomography = Digital Toy Camera
October 28, 2008
I know i havent been updating this site recently since we are busy getting the new server ready to launch… but couldnt resist writing about 3 iPhone Photography Apps that give life to my boring iPhone Camera.
1. CameraBag – $2.99 at the itunes store
This is where the iPhone meets Lomography, change those plain looking snapshots in to artsy looking photos that will get you thinking if it was done on a iPhone. Take a photo or use an existing one from your iphone library and enhance the look easily. Add a mood to the photo by trying different simulations available.
Original Photo taken with iPhone Camera
If you like the Holga look, you will like to try the HELGA
- a square format toy camera feel with washed-out highlights and old school vignetting.
If you like the Lomo look, you will like to try the LOLO
- Shoot from the hip and vibrant colorful shots.
If you like the Horizon, you will like the CINEMA
- Wide Screen Stills
If you like black and white, you will like ANSEL
-Smooth Gradation from Black to White
If you like high contrast, you will like the 1962
-Dynamic black and white from photojournalist of a bygone era.
If you like sepia/muted colors, you will like the 1974
-your fathers camera, faded, tinted and hip
If you like Infrared Film, you will like the INFRARED
-Simulation of the popular landscape photography technique.
2. ToyCamera – $1.99
I was excited to find another app but when i first tried it i got a flashing screen that i had to restart my iPhone for the app to work.. hmm.. It seems to be power hungry in terms of resources.. hopefully they can fix this in the next upgrade.
ToyCamera is a photo effector for the iPhone Camera It can only do 1 thing… just take a photo and it will do several random effects that will transform your photo..
3. ToyDigi – $4.99
when you open the app go to the upper left corner to “settings” choose your photo size and effect by sliding down the menu. The Effect is only applied to the actual photo taken.
Cool Photo Effect – creates a low saturated photo that is crips and calm
Vintage Photo Effect – creates a yellow-tinged photo that adds a vintage feel.
Nostalgic Photo Effect – creates a blue-tinged photo that gives a sense of nostalgia
Dynamic Photo Effect – creates a passionate photo by increasing vividness.
Watch out for more Photo apps as they become available!

LOMOMANILA celebrates another year of creativity with “LOMOLOVE TOO!â€
Lomography has taken the country by storm! Thanks to LomoManila, a local photography group advocating a new form of photography rooted in individuality and freedom of expression, Lomography has recently captured the imagination of Filipinos from all walks of life.
This November 10 to December 1, LomoManila celebrates this triumph with LomoLove Too!, a repeat of last year’s successful exhibit LomoLove at the BlackSoup Projects Artspace in Cubao Expo. This time, the exhibit is bigger, noisier, crazier and filled with anything and everything lomo.
For four Saturdays, the Cubao Expo, commonly known as Cubao X to the art community becomes the center of the world with activities to bring out the best in Filipino Lomography. From photography, music, crafts and cinema, LomoLove Too! serves to become a venue where artists can come together, celebrate and inspire creativity in one another.
The fun starts on November 10, 8pm on LomoLove Too!’s exhibit launch party where more than 100 lomographers bare their best works at the BlackSoup Projects Artspace. The launch is also a concert with live performances by the country’s top bands The Dawn, Cambio, Taken By Cars, The Ronnies, Top Junk, Corporate Lofi, Ang Bandang Shirley and Pasok Mga Bwitre.
On the next Saturday, November 17, lomographers and curious newbies can come to the Bili Na Mga Suki LomoManila Bazaar, Analog Afternoon and The Newbie Sessions at 2pm. Lomo cameras, film and other special lomo-inspired merchandise made by LomoManilans and their friends will be available. Vinyl collectors can also bring their favorite vinyl records for an old-school playlist party. Share tips and tricks and learn secrets from the lomo masters with The Newbie Sessions.
LomoLove Too! enters a new arena of imagination and artistry on November 24 for the Cinemalomo and Rock the X. Inspired by the movement of multi-lens action cameras, LomoManilans present the global premiere of their own lomo movies starting 4pm. A collaboration with Rock Ed Philippines, Rock the X is a film screening of the Rock the Rehas documentaries on Philippine jails. Music will also be part of the event with a mini concert to rock Cubao X.
Finally, on December 1, 4pm, LomoManila closes its exhibit with a bang with tLomopalooza, a jamming party with the best indie bands with special participation of Bitaw! Artists. Serving as the group’s Christmas Party, another Internet based community called Multiply Pilipinas is expected to join us.
“With LomoLove Too!, LomoManila hopes to spread their love of lomography and give individuals the power to unleash their own creative prowess. We may have grown so big and accomplished so much this past year, but for us this is only the beginning,†At Maculangan, LomoManila Founder, said.
“ Lomolove is our way of sharing what we love and enjoy about Lomography. It promotes the spirit of collaboration not only among our members, but the local art community and anyone who shares the same interest and passion. We encourage participation and also challenge our members to extend into other art forms and other communities. Lomomanila believes in sharing, collaboration and having a lot of fun doing things!†Bong Rojales, one of the prime movers of the group added.
Lomomanila’s LomoLove Too! is made possible through major sponsors Smart Communications, Fuji YKL, Linksys and Geisler Maclang. This special event is also supported by Serye, TeamManila, Kolektib, Yocard, T-box, Havaianas, David & Goliath, Digiprint and Rock Ed. Media partners are RJ Underground Radio 105.9, Mobile Philippines, Super and ClickTheCity.com.
