Using an iPhone and <strong>Hipstamatic<\/strong> has been a great way to record my travels around Asia. Carrying heavy expensive gear can be tiresome and can draw un wanted attention. For each country I have travelled to I have tried to use mainly one combination that I think fits the mood of that country. Living in Hong Kong, I use the city and nature as a testing ground for combinations. Hong Kong is very much a city of contrasts, rich and poor, skyscrappers and mountains, Old and New, Chinese ancestry and Western consumerism.<br \/>\nOld buildings sit along side Towering Skyscrappers before they are inevitably torn down to make room for more\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\"I have always really enjoyed making collages using photos, I can't help it really. I really enjoy hiking, and when you are on top of that mountain, you can't but take every angle, the photo needs to be complete. I love making panoramics and without the specialist equipment to do proper panoramics I have always made mine using multiple photos.<br \/>\nI enjoy the process of blending the photos together to make it as one although with an SLR Camera, this process can be quite labour intensive. What I like about <strong>Hipstamatic<\/strong> is the way, especially with films that create borders, is that you can just drag and place each photo next to each other without worrying about it being 100% seamless. The end result is always very pleasing. With all of the non panoramic montages, these are always first attempts. I don't bother with trying to find the perfect blend, the order I place them into photoshop is generally the order they are made. Also, if i happen to use 24 photos for one collage then I will use all 24, even if some get hidden or are only slightly visible.\"<\/em><br \/>\nSimon Heard<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[button color=\"orange\" link=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/simonheardphotography\/\"]flickr[\/button]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Simon Heard Hometown: Tamworth (England) Resides: Hong Kong Profession: Kindergarten English Teacher Hobbies: Wing Chun Kung Fu, Mountain Running at night, Hiking, Cycling, Photography\/Hipstography Hipstographer Since: 2012 Year of Birth: 1986 Favorite Combo: \u00a0Melodie\u00a0 + \u00a0Cano Cafenol\u00a0 Favorite Lens: \u00a0Melodie\u00a0 Favorite Film: \u00a0Cano Cafenol\u00a0 Favorite Flash: Aucun &#8220;I have been using Hipstamatic for about [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":14345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,291,563],"tags":[151,305,178,569],"class_list":["post-14351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hipstographers-2","category-portfolio-en","category-the-way-of-the-dragon-en","tag-cano-cafenol-en","tag-exhibition-en","tag-melodie-en","tag-the-way-of-the-dragon-en-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;A city of Contrasts&#039;
