The petition of vintage toy cameras was that you never quite knew the result you would get until the photo was developed. Takayuki Fukatsu's ToyCamera app brings this old-sort fun to your iPhone.
The charm of an app like this is its simplicity. When you launch ToyCamera , the interface looks almost exactly like the inherent camera, except after you take a photo, you have the extra surprise of seeing what the result looks like.
ToyCamera contains eight photo filters (Vintage Leafy, Sepia, Low Contrast and more). By default, the app is set to apply one of these photos randomly to the photo after it's been captured. You can set it so that the app only applies a specific leach, but that defeats the purpose--and the fun. ToyCamera's appeal lies in its randomness. Plenty of other photo apps sanction you to apply very specific effects, but that is not what ToyCamera aims to do.
After you take the photo, you can see a preview image. If you like it, you can try out the effect to your image, which is then immediately added to your photoroll.

How do I get that "vintage" look in my photos?
Nov 19, 2006 by fender_goddess711 | Posted in Photography
Call me a idealist but I'm absolutely in love with the "vintage" photo look. Textured, high contrast. 5x7 in two shakes of a lamb's tail, Black or sepia toned with a 1/4inch white border.
You know, the kind of pictures you see in Ralph Lauren ads and big flashbacks that generally focus on pigeons, falling books or young, Parisian soldiers race unbridled and slightly out of frame...
I don't want to 'photoshop' pictures into this style, I'd like it to be the natural 'biological' product. Aside from using black and white film, how do I get that look in my photos?
Do I need to buy a vintage camera? How do I acheive the borders? Is there a exclude I should use?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: I'm a novice, so break it down slowly, please :)
You can have any photo printed with a border. You prerequisite to go to a pro or semi pro shop to have them printed. Just tell them you want a border. Two ways to achieve character: high speed film like Kodak 3200 which was created for taking photos at night is expert to experiment with. The more light you use and or the larger you blow up the photo, the more grain and depth you get. On the flip side, a film like Agfa 25 or 50 will give almost no grist and can only be shot with a good light source. This will give you sharp details. Also, it is best to use a tripod with a slow aid. It's basically impossible to stand completely still and that may reflect in your photo. This film for any 35mm camera. I would recommend purchasing a yellow winnow for black and white, which will give you higher contrast. And again, any pro or semi pro lab can print photos in sepia. Something I quite enjoy is after my negatives are developed, I have some of the photos printed in color. The discrepancy in going to a semi/pro lab is that they adjust each photo individually. When I have them printed in color, the black usually has a gloom blue hue which gives greater depth. Ilford is also a beautiful film. I would stay away from Kodak ebony and which with the exception of the 3200 speed.

Get a mountainous 3 x 3 metre perspex water tank, fill it with coffee, jump in with your camera and start snapping.

That unique look of vintage photos: Film or developing process?
Apr 27, 2008 by cobwebsinmyeyes | Posted in Photography
Please only answer if you At the end of the day know.
Can someone tell me what makes vintage photos look so different and gives them the unique coloring and grainy trait that is so gorgeous!
Is it the old film itself or the actual developing process? I know it isn't the cameras because my photos from a vintage camera look latest.
It's a consortium of the age of the emulsion on the print itself. Older film had larger grain, the higher speed film of today has very keen grain, even in non-pro film. Depending on the type of film used, there can be varying color shifts over heretofore. Time, it seems, is what makes anything vintage. When you look at what you call a vintage photograph, you're seeing an image that has been effected by the ravages of time. Non-archival prints, outstandingly older one's will experience a color shift as a result of anything from relative humidity to temperature, to sun exposure, all of which have unparalleled effects on film and print emulsions. Sorry, it's not magic, only chemistry.
To Perki...
Dagg you're Sunday! That photograph is awesome.

where can i find vintage photos and videos of US cities?
Mar 04, 2008 by matrix | Posted in Photography
Can someone know scold me where I can find vintage photos and especially videos (around 1950's) of US cities. I'd really love to watch them
Recently I've run across vintage photos of US cities on www.art.com. Do a search for several cities and see what comes up. The conurbation can be large or small. The images are selling for $19.95, however, it is fun just to look and see the old buildings and cityscape's.
The vintage images will be opposite involved in with current ones. What you'll be looking for is images that are horizontal in nature. They are all about the same size. Although they look painted, they are man colored. Someone photographed a building or street and then they used oils or some other medium to color over the images.
These embodiment were probably created in the 1920's - 1950's. I found several images of my town, population 47,000. There were images of our put, drive-in restaurant and our downtown area. The people who produced them must have gone from city to city and made the images for on the block. I'm not sure if they were in book form or sold individually. You can find a lot of individual buildings, mainly public, for each city.
I ran across these images last week while on a business trip in Kansas City. The hotel I stayed at featured these vintage images on their walls. They were displayed as first-rate art prints with matting and frames. When I arrived home I did a search on www.art.com and found these images of my town and others.
Good Good break!
