To keep the iPhone's auto-adjust from reducing the exposure, I would point the camera at my feet, then flip it up, taking the image before the camera had a chance to react.

Hipstamatic is the only photography application I use. I love the way it looks, its rebellious spirit, its edgy, unpredictable side and of course the results it produces. Thanks to Hipstamatic I have rediscovered my love of photography. I would go so far as to say that Hipstamatic has changed my life considerably, day to day. Since I have been using it, I have been travelling the world more and more, with the sole purpose of taking pictures. I am no great fan of editing images and I have no desire to spend ages changing a photo using the myriad of apps available on the market. Hipstamatic does not produce perfect pictures, but that is precisely what is so great about it. You may take a hundred pictures, one of which will be amazing. It won't require any touching up and it will be truly unique. (Suite...)

‘exposure lock’ is the feature i’d most like to see on the next updates. But Tom… don’t you also end up with a load of out of focus pics too?

I was going to ask the same question. I sometimes do that unintentionally when I’m out doing street photography and I end up with blurry and out of focus pictures. Specially when using any add-on lens on my iPhone (I mostly use the iPro Lens System’s telephoto).

Phipsta: I suppose this trick is situational to the environment and device used. I was using an iPhone 5; I was shooting from a shaded area; and I was shooting into a brightly lit area. I’m not an expert in the mechanics of my my device’s auto focus and auto exposure, so I cannot predict how this control works. I seem to have the most success with this technique shooting into the sun.

isn’t manual focus/exposure working in this case? point your finger on dark part of the screen (in the same way as in camera app), so focus and exposure is taken from that point.

Unfortunately there is no way to control focus/exposure with the Hipstamatic app (at least not to my knowledge). However this is what makes the app the more interesting, but what I found was that depending on how I compose my shoot I was able to get the subject in focus as desired.
