I am liking it more
Came across an announcement for a group I listen to from time to time, a Swedish Melodic Death Metal Group called Amon Amarth so was playing with a couple of their pics. Primarily because the black background....

Very serious business, death metal.

Isn't 'melodic' and 'death metal' oxymoronic?
(And before PicsbyJCG sets me straight, I mean 'by definition').
That didn't help, did it
It is lol.
But just a few months ago, I discovered a band with their roots in all that black/death metal crap, but with strong melodies and lyrics about other stuff than death, war, murder, hate and bloodfilled gore: Gojira, a french (!) band concerned with the environment, the planet & mostly the threatened oceans. Imagine that.
Now that's "metal" I can get into!! Good on them! [emoji288][emoji173]️
This new pak is *vaguely* intriguing....so I downloaded it. But I think zenjenny may be correct that it's the great portraits and not the filter that make it seem so cool.
Not for me

No, not going to be something everyone will like, I got it because it looked so unlike Hipstamatics recent releases that all looked the same, something you can't say about this one...

Yes it can be quite different music, something that not everyone is going to like. Pure Death Metal I don't listen to but the melodic is not horrible.
My kids find it strange because I listen to a very wide range of music (they do too). In general I do not like rap either.
My father is to blame, he played a wide range of music from his youth right up to current pop.
I like a show called Rockwiz (from Austrailia) which you might watch too. My daughter likes the show and most time could easily win on shows like that. She can hear music and she can remember everything about it. In Calgary they have a call in radio show that she has won lots on, mostly a small money amount or meals at some restaurants etc. She talks to them often enough they know who it is by the phone number..

I have listen to some of Gojira's music before.
Interesting set of discs that were out for a while was called Alternative Times and covered a wide range of music. These were complications that some group made, not a commercial venture. They did 119 cd's over about 3 years, I have them all though I burn everything to dvd's not cd's.

I think Tachman lens can also enhance the sense of light in some pictures, especially if combined with b&w films. I made these in my sunny garden this afternoon. In the 3rd pictute I pulled the lens slider halfway left.
For me the lens effect adds to the pictures' mood and mystery.

Are you a member of Hipstamatic Sardinia?
I am going through their archive making a list of all the weekly challenges they had. When I joined they were at I think week 173 and I have tried most since joining.
Thought might be interesting to start a similar challenge here though weekly might be to short.

A bug with the Mobitog app which is actually made by Tapatalk. I hoped an update would show up to fix this and the other bug that it has, a long messages where the text doesn't scroll when your typing. If you continue your typing blind. Posts alright just as your typing and exceed the box that opens, can see a little more in portrait but once filled it stops scrolling too.

Time to re-discover them? New album coming this summer (maybe - delayed, postphoned & all that jazz over & over again due to tragedy in the two brother's family).
And their most recent live album kicks major heavy a**

Really? A film with the name of our "little" island, Gotland? Think I'll get it just because of the name

Maybe its just me (I'm an old grouch) but this pak and the last, just seem like Hipstamatic are desperate for ideas, re-hashing the.....make it a bit fuzzy, stick a funky border around it. How many times have we seen this now.
Don't get me wrong, I like Hipsta but it just seems like its getting tired. Anyone brave enough to agree ?

There's a whole thread or three of stalwart posts about Hipsta's 'evolution' - our little search fx should show you some like-mindedness

This all started when they released Oggl and made the part of it that there would be new gear every month. I don't think it has been the smartest move by them. Prior to Oggl releases were better and sometime farther apart and things seemed to fit better with both new and old lenses and films. Since Oggl a lot of the filters seem to be much closer together in look.
Many of us have commented that we would like to see things change back.
The other thing that I have noticed was support is not as good as before. I sent them some question when iOS 9.3 came out and told them about the issue with retina iPads running iPhone apps and having the photo picker go blank. When I was trying to fix that I uninstalled and reinstalled but now it claims I never had the Xmas films and lens. Asked but never heard anything back.

I COMPLETELY agree. I used to be a HipstaAddict, and for a good year or two now I've stopped buying the paks because I find them so uncreative, and lots of times just plain ugly. I feel they've sadly lost their cool factor.Maybe its just me (I'm an old grouch) but this pak and the last, just seem like Hipstamatic are desperate for ideas, re-hashing the.....make it a bit fuzzy, stick a funky border around it.

Oh that would really annoy me if one of my paks went.
