Gorgeous Slow Camera Box Is Like An Analog Instagram

David McCourt has advance up with the thought of Slow Photography. Essentially, it's a bulky, analog chronicle of all the print grungifying apps is to iPhone. The large difference, though, is that you'll look way cooler when you're carrying out it.

David's Slow Camera is a box that treats your cellphone similar to a square of film. You lift the front open similar to a drawer, container in your phone and shut the box back up. Now, you support and perspective the picture by peering in to the tip of the box, and choose from 3 lenses by rambling a turret at the front. The camera itself looks similar to a column from Kubrick's 2001 .

But because worry with all this additional trouble? After all, a cellphone camera's paramount strength is its convenience. Because by negligence things down you have to take a more deliberate approach. If any of you has ever used a automatic camera with a top-down, reversed-image viewfinder, you'll know only how ample more attention it forces you to pay to composition.

The lenses are fun, too, and only increase to the Hipstamatic-ness of the rig. You can choose between periodic fixed, fisheye and macro lenses, and all of them mellow the high quality of your cinema (see the results below).

I'm meddlesome to see where this will finish up. The stream craving with creation best digital photos look similar to they were snapped with a cosmetic Soviet-era camera creates for a few good images, but it will beginning to look a small cheesy shortly enough. Pay attention to the 1980s craze for using tobacco grad filters and you'll see how a specific look can date cinema strongly.

Pushing a camera to force uncanny images is as aged as photography itself, though. we consternation if photographers will beginning to take advantage of digital sound and other defects the same way that movie photographers exploited grain?
