Dreamy

When the Disposable app was released, back in 2011, it allowed the user to make photo series in collaboration with several other people. For technical reasons, the app was withdrawn in 2012. Three years later, in April 2015, Hipstamatic released the D-Series RetroPak.

At the time, the D-Series RetroPak consisted of 3 lenses (Dee, Mark and Gregory) and 2 films (Lite and BlacKeys 44), all of which are inspired by elements from the old Disposable catalogue. If you aren’t familiar with Disposable, this paragraph isn’t important but if you are, here’s how the elements are related: as far as the lenses go, Dee is inspired by D-Lite, Mark by MegaZuck 84 and Gregory by Gregory GR8.

And for the films, Lite reproduces the same effects as D-Lite with its color film and light leaks, and BlacKeys 44 pays homage to the black/white film carrying the same name.

Well, here’s a completely unexpected little surprise: Hipstamatic just added a new film to the pak, called Dreamy, based on Disposable’s Dreamy Camera. As to the effect, I have no idea if this is deliberate or if it’s actually a bugbut, the film seems to almost override the lenses and flashes. No consistent discernable effect can be noticed changing the lens or adding a flash… It seems like nothing really changes.

Last detail: Dreamy has a light white frame, which can obviously be removed in Pro Mode, so go ahead and test it! Also, you have just about 3 weeks left before the 2016 Awards deadline. Just on a side note…
