Nico Paix's photostream  

Hello! This is a catalogue of travel, art, & photos from everyday life. I very much appreciate that you've stopped by! :)

If you're interested, everything here is shot & edited casually with basic tools;

Digital photos are taken with an iPhone 3GS, while everything 35mm is from my Canon EOS Rebel T2.

Photos earlier in the stream are from a Lomographic ColorSplash, Holga CFN 120, Polaroid One600, a SplitCam, and a Canon DSLR I lost & can't remember. Although it has since stopped working (I broke it with love), the Colorsplash is a really fantastic camera that I would recommend to everyone for taking fun, vibrant analog photos.

All travel photos were taken with an Olympus FE-340 digital camera. Its 8mp and a few years old but is a really fantastic camera that produces excellent photos without any fuss. Its also especially useful for tourism/museums & special events where inconspicuousness is required as it takes (clear) photos rapidly and quietly.

My secondary digital camera is a Nikon Coolpix S3000 which isn't a very easy camera to work with-its not very stable, generally requires a flash for clear photos, and there's a frustratingly long lag time in between photos. Its a headache to use and unfortunately everything is so blurry you can't really edit your way out of problems so I wouldn't recommend it.

For 35mm editing I use iPhoto and (sometimes) Pixlr. I edit all iPhone pics with Camera+, even before putting them into Instagram.

Other fun iPhone apps; PEStudio for its many filters, Halftone for comic effects, Phoster for graphics (so good!), Diptic for diptychs, and 8mm for movies. I haven't yet uploaded any examples, but if you're looking for new tools they're all useful :)
