Instagram Filters get applied in real life with this liquid-filled camera lens

Posted on by

Want to bring the look of an Instagram filter to your 35mm film photos? The HydroChrome Sutton’s Panoramic Belair Camera gives you the power to create and experiment with your own photo effects. How does it work? Instead of using the power of digital technology (or whatever wizardry Instagram’s team discovered), the HydroChrome uses liquids to create its dreamy, colorful film strips.

How does it work? As you can see in the pictures below, a tube and syringe are attached to the camera’s body. With the liquid of your choice, you can create dreamy, colorful panoramic film strips with sprocket holes. The designer elaborates,” Have you noticed Instagram’s film border filters that mimic authentic analog sprocket holes? Us too, and who can blame them, it’s a great look! But instead of faking the effect, you can do it for real with the HydroChrome. Master this authentic analog aesthetic with no digital trickery required!”  This real-life colored filter was inspired by the HydroChrome’s namesake, Thomas Sutton, who pioneered the use of liquid-filled lenses. Now, over 150 years later, the technique has been adapted and packaged into a beginner-friendly package.

In recent years, 35mm film photography has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Even as digital photography and phone cameras become more advanced, people still feel nostalgic for film cameras. The HydroChrome camera invites those photography fans to experiment with this particular medium, in a way that is both unconventional and uncomplicated. With the HydroChrome’s easy-to-use function and the included “Liquids Guide,” anyone can capture dreamy, beautiful images.

A seriously playful camera!

Posted on by

Cameras. They can be vintage or cutting edge, bulky or sleek, but generally awe-inspiring… but you’d never use the word adorable to describe a camera now would you? Strangely enough, that’s the only word I can think of that best describes the Lomography Fisheye Baby. With its incredibly toyish proportions, and even colors, the Fisheye Baby is cute, and embodies everything that’s fun about photography.

The Fisheye Baby literally fits in your palm. Not figuratively, literally. It’s small enough to come out of a cereal box, but behind its playful exterior is Lomography’s expertise. The lens, for instance, is a 170° fisheye type, and the camera itself clicks some seriously good pictures (on 110 film) with absolutely delicious colors that your phone can never match. In fact, the Fisheye Baby even takes multiple exposure shots and has a PC flash connector. Available in limited edition, the Fisheye Baby may seem like a toy, and honestly, it is… but what better way is there to capture vivid and fun moments of your life??

It uses reasonably priced Fujifilm Instax Mini film, combined with contemporary tech to make the experience more pleasant than it’s ever been. It can automatically adjust shutter speed, aperture, and flash output all on its own, using input from an integrated sensor to determine the perfect parameters for a shot.

Basically, it takes care of all the technical details for you, so all you have to do is aim and shoot. It’s simple and also rewarding as the film comes out. For those who want to play with their images, there are long exposure and unlimited multiple exposure modes, as well as an array of available color gel filters, and telephoto, fisheye, and wide-angle lens options.
