Usually, that means my phone. It take ok pics using the regular camera, sure, but you get very &#8220;point-and-shoot&#8221; results. They work for documenting something, but meh for anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doesn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Been using it for years with my favorite set up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1:1 aspect ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>instant film frame<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>black and white<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&#8217;t translate well, but that&#8217;s part of it. Getting a feel for what will look good, and what won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6ae9f5f1db047&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/gallery\"
