A Rose by Hipstamatic

The Hipstamatic App has added several new "films" to its stock recently.

I chose this beautiful creamy rose as a suitable test subject to assess the qualities of each.

To compare the rose photographed with the ordinary camera.

iPhone Camera, processed in Snapseed.

The Sussex Film has a quality similar to the standard camera but gives the

image a slightly roughened shaded border with is simple without

being distracting, but, for this subject, I love the antique feel to the rose

that the C-Type Plate Film produces.

Winter Roses

These miniature roses in the garden were photographed

recently when the outside temperature was -2ºC.

They have been in bloom since November,

surviving the last few weeks of extremely cold weather.

The petals are a little worn at the edges but they have 

a style all of their own.
