Welcome to Berlin and, more specifically, Kreuzberg, a vibrant hub for counter-culture. Needless to say this is an area that is favored by artists, with lots of bars and swanky lofts.<\/h4>\n

\"The-Kreuzberg-HipstaPak-banner\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Kreuzberg HipstaPak<\/strong> contains a lens, Johannes<\/strong> and a film, Strausberg<\/strong>. The effects are rather stunning, but we\u2019ll leave you to judge\u2026<\/p>\n

Johannes<\/strong> produces a half-tone effect and this is new for Hipstamatic<\/strong>. Here\u2019s some technical info: halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect. Where continuous tone imagery contains an infinite range of colors or greys, the halftone process reduces visual reproductions to an image that is printed with only one color of ink, in dots of differing size (amplitude modulation) or spacing (frequency modulation). This reproduction relies on a basic optical illusion: the tiny halftone dots are blended into smooth tones by the human eye. Just as color photography evolved with the addition of filters and film layers, color printing is made possible by repeating the halftone process for each subtractive color\u2014most commonly using what is called the \"CMYK color model\" (source<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Strausberg<\/strong>\u00a0film adds a dash of \"old newspaper\" effect. Well worth testing with other lenses!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
