The HipShootOut Exhibition in Dallas, Texas opened Saturday, July 31, 2010 at the Visual Arts Center Gallery on the University of Texas-Dallas campus. The event was presented by Intownmix and Photopolus DFW. Part of the proceeds went to raise milk money for a free mobile summer lunch program AmeriCorps and Central Dallas Ministries called Food on the Move, a program that provides more than 500,000 meals for kids in low income areas in Dallas.

The exhibition was part of a non-credit class offered at UTD recently, although submissions for the exhibit were open to anyone. How did Dallas Hipstas do? My thoughts after the jump.

If you’re in or around the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex tomorrow, Saturday, July 31, 2010, check out one of the area’s first brick and mortar exhibits of iPhone photography.

intownmix is sponsoring the HipShootOut Exhibit here in Dallas tomorrow evening. This exhibit is part of a non-credit class previously offered at the University of Dallas, but submissions were open to all. I’m excited about this event right here in my own backyard. I’ll have three photos on display and I can’t wait to see the homegrown iPhoneography that Dallas-based photographer Ange Fitzgerald’s class created.

Proceeds from this event benefit local Dallas charities.

Here’s a very basic tutorial on tweaking Hipstamatic’s settings to get the most out of the app.

If you’re relatively new to iPhoneography or just new to Hipstamatic, or if the app’s settings have somehow reset on you, here’s a brief walk-thru of Hipstamatic 160′s settings. A few changes will help to make shooting with Hipstamatic better.

When you first install the app on your iPhone, it’s optimized for speed. Some of the default settings can be a little frustrating and some tweaks need to be made to the app in order to fix the preview in the viewfinder and get the app to output large prints suitable for printing.

Our very basic, step-by-step walk-thru is after the jump.

The Hipstamatic update which brings iPhone 4 compatibility to the app has been released. The Hipstamatic Model 160 update adds a few new features, optimizations, and bug fixes which addressed problems many users were having in iOS 4 and on the new iPhone 4.

The expected features are there. The blue tints in the monochrome films have been fixed and the films process correctly. Hipstamatic now supports prints up to 1936×1936 pixels on the iPhone 4. The iPhone’s flash no longer locks up the screen.

July 1, 2010 — Still kind of slow with the photo app updates. There were only a few photo app updates today, although I am excited about the Lux Deluxe update that came out today (the iPhone version of the game of Risk).

The big updates of the day come from Takayuki Fukatsu, the developer of TiltShift Generator. Several of his other apps got updates for iPhone 4 today, OldCamera, SepiaCamera and the popular ToyCamera. All three have been updated for iPhone 4, including full 5MP output capability.

Updates for the Classic Camera series from misskiwi have been submitted to the App Store, but still haven’t been released yet. And we’re still waiting on the new Hipstamatic 160 update with the great new features and bug fixes. Full resolution prints on the iPhone 4 and the flash/flash feature sounds really cool! It’s still in review and hasn’t streeted yet. Really. I just checked.

June 30, 2010 — Just two big photo app updates today. The TiltShift Generator update has some nice iPhone 4 compatibility. Picture Show got a ton of new filters, an enhanced GUI, some iOS 4 bug fixes, but it’s still 2MP output.

Yesterday, CameraKit was updated to version 1.9 and now takes advantage of full iPhone 4 resolutions.

Updates for the Classic Camera series from misskiwi have been submitted to the App Store, but haven’t been released yet. And the Hipstamatic 160 update that adds new features and fixes the issue with the monochrome films was submitted on Monday, but we didn’t see that one today either.

We’ve added several other apps to the list as well, including the new app colorShadow.
