What? Is there a new pak?View attachment 107981
As no one has started a new thread for the new Hipstapak, thought i’d Start one.
This is the FISHEYE PAK.
Thought it worked nicely with this recent shot I took at Flamborough Haed in East Riding of Yorkshire.
Yep.........99pWhat? Is there a new pak?
Yes, it definitely works nicely here.View attachment 107981

Nope, you’re not alone. I’ve never understood their point either.Another dud for me, never seen the point in fish eye lens, but maybe that's just moi.
Hipstamatic hasn't worked on my iPad for months, I've kind of given up with it.Being the curious sort I immediately went to get the new fisheye snap pack. On my iPad i got a message saying i needed to update Hipstamatic first. It was already updated on my iPhone so I moved there to continue. I got the new pack for $1.39 (plus tax). I went outside to do a comparison test. Set up my iPhone on my tripod to ensure a proper comparison.
I wanted to do this comparison because something didn’t look right in the Hipstamatic Fisheye photos above. The perspective is not retreating fast enough.
Here’s my baseline photo. Native camera app.

In case you’re wondering, the camera IS level. It’s the land that’s on a slope.
Next, on to Hipstamatic.... After downloading the new Fisheye pack on my iPhone 7 Plus Hipstamatic crashed every time I launched it. It would usually open the second time but every time I tried to make a picture the app crashed. When I did get it to open again I checked the photos but no new Hipstamatic photos appeared so it was crashing before saving. Crash, crash, crash, crash, boring. Up until the 341 update and the Fisheye pack Hipstamatic had been working OK.
Oh well. I’m all set up so I might as well continue.
Here’s a photo from the long standing Fisheye Pro app. I presumed this would be quite similar to the Hipstamatic pack.

As you can probably guess it is really just a bulge effect applied to a regular photo. 5 variations of lens available in the app.
Here is a photo made in the Native camera app using a real fisheye lens.

I got this fisheye lens as part of The VR Kit I bought to make interactive 360 x 360 panoramas and I posted a couple here on MobiTog in the past but you need a special viewer from the interactive experience so I didn’t make one here. Other than that I don’t find a fisheye lens very useful. You can see the 2 front tripod legs at the bottom of the picture. And I think, the bottom edge of the tripod head.
I started to wonder if maybe there was a new iOS version so I checked for an iOS update and found there was 10.3 available. I downloaded the update (765 MB), which took a while, and then installed the update.
Now back to Hipstamatic.... Crash, crash, crash, etc. No photos. Boring.
Did I really need to be that curious?
Flash. Brilliant idea. Check Hipstamatic on my iPad Pro not that it has been updated to 341 but no Fisheye pack loaded yet. Crash, crash, crash, crash. Really good stuff this Hipstamatic.
It had been working OK before this.Hipstamatic hasn't worked on my iPad for months, I've kind of given up with it.

Hipstamatic crashed every time I tried to a photo of a Knick knack for the color challenge yesterday. No fisheye involved.
Hey! This fixed both my iPhone and iPad. No more crashes! Thanks!!For the new Fisheye Snap Pak to work you have to turn off the Raw saving feature in settings and the lastest IOS version.
Have tested it It crashes each time I use it a first After I switch off the Raw setting for my images it works
Use the Bream film you will get fantastic images very abstract
Great examples!This image was double baked

Maybe only use a browser....??It makes such a mess when a post goes wrong from the Mobi app and it can’t be fixed except by going to a browser.
I’m sorry...I just don’t understand the point of the fish eye lens...Another try with the Fisheye SnapPak
I’m sorry...I just don’t understand the point of the fish eye lens...

So First Friday, and it is not even a HipstaPak this month...
The Fisheye SnapPak is here...
Those are pretty much the only things I love about it lately... This one’s a good one, I’d say.Ho hum. Awaiting RoseCat ’s judgment on the lens icon
