Hipstamatic 170 Cometh

The update for the Hipstamatic app for iPhone is hitting iTunes tomorrow!!! Some of the new features available that I'm aware of will be the ability to order high quality prints of your beautiful pictures directly from your phone. I'm really excited to see what those look since the look of a Hipstamatic print seems to lose it's resilience and inner glow when I have printed them at home. They look great on the computer screen and I would love to see some of that light duplicated and sustained in a print.

The other big deal is a new lens, the Bettie XL lens. Below is an example of a picture taken with the Bettie XL lens. This was taken by one of my newest flickr contacts, zinkwazi.

Much credit is due to zinkwazi's compositional skill but I'm also knocked out but the triple tone spectral light leaks around the edges and the brilliantly filmy colors. It's almost like looking at something through a soap bubble. I cannot wait to try it out! I'm really praying that this is not the only new lens and that perhaps there will also be one or two new film paks. WEE!!!
