Plastic Bullet
Version 1.1
Price: $1.99

Bottom Line: Gorgeous, one-of-a-kind Lomo effects, and now supports full-resolution on all iPhones

Plastic Bullet from Red Giant Software is a plastic camera-style app. It’s fairly simple to use — either use the app’s built-in camera or load an image from your iPhone’s camera roll. Four images at a time are then previewed. Save the one you like or refresh the screen for more previews.

The app is a true electronic lomography app — one that encourages you to explore the “happy accidents” in your photography.

Plastic Bullet
Version 1.0
Price: $1.99 USD

Bottom Line: Gorgeous, one-of-a-kind Lomo effects, but version 1.0 only has 800×600 output.

Touted as “a photo app with infinite possibilities”, Plastic Bullet from Red Giant Software is a new plastic camera-style app. It’s fairly simple to use — either use the app’s built-in camera or load an image from your iPhone’s camera roll. Four images at a time are then previewed. Save the one you like or refresh the screen for more previews.

The app is a true electronic lomography app — one that encourages you to explore the “happy accidents” in your photography.

To paraphrase the classic T-shirts that are still available in shops on 7th Avenue at 3 for $10, I love New York. New York is one of the easiest cities I’ve photographed. The people, the architecture, the vibe of the city make for great stories everywhere, and especially great for iPhoneographers.

Andigraf
Version 1.0.1

Bottom line: Great filters help make this camera more fun than you’re expecting

Andigraf by Subkernel is a new camera in the Quad-cam, Supersampler style. It’s an app that takes serial photography, using one of four multi-lens configurations from 4 to 9 lenses. It also features several “film styles” to apply filter effects to your images. Currently, there are four film styles — GrafPhoto Color, LoMode Turquoise, GrafProfessional Black&White, and 1945S Classic Sepia with more films promised in future updates.

Serial photography is a lot more fun than you would initially think and I really like this app!
