4 plastic bullet variations
all © catherine buca 2010
I downloaded the Plastic Bullet iPhone app from Red Giant Software yesterday. It provides a less controllable experience than a lot of other apps I use: you either take a photo in-app, or choose one from your photo roll, and the app produces 4 random variations, all ‘retro’ or ‘lomo’ in style. You can choose to save any or all of them, and/or reload for another 4 random styles. I spent ages reloading this image and although the images share characteristics, out of the maybe 100 created, none were exactly the same. This app is going to be loads of fun.
I also downloaded Photo FX from Tiffen. Coming from Tiffen, as you might expect it’s based on a series of filters. I say ‘series’, I mean shed-load. There are so many to choose from I haven’t actually saved any of the images I was playing around with last night. You can layer filters as well, and have a degree of control over each one’s application. Well worth the price.

Hey, that looks really cool. I like it.
I like getting ramdom stuff. I have photo FX, Retro Camera, and Photo Illusions for my android phone. Photo FX is good because you can randomise the effects you get. I like to be surprised. Sometimes I like to use these apps more than using my SLR O_0

I really like plastic bullet, too. they just need to work on that output resolution limitation.

I was just looking at this today and now I will definitely buy it. I did download an app called Pic Grunger that let’s you add scratched textures to your photos. These photo apps are so fun and I love how much control I have over my iPhone images. Thanks for sharing :)
