The best camera you have is the one you have with you. Usually, that means my phone. It take ok pics using the regular camera, sure, but you get very “point-and-shoot” results. They work for documenting something, but meh for anything else.
Doesn’t really scratch the itch. So why not use it as a different type of point and shoot camera? Enter an old Android favorite of mine, Vignette.
Been using it for years with my favorite set up:
- 1:1 aspect ratio
- instant film frame
- black and white
Not every shot comes out good or as you expect. You have to think about it a little bit more, need to pay more attention to contrast and form. Some shots just don’t translate well, but that’s part of it. Getting a feel for what will look good, and what won’t.
