What are you taking those pictures with? Is that a film camera or digital?

I'm from a family of photographers (grandfather, father) - I do shoot alot of film (up to 8X10) - but these photos were all taken with my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. It has a film/lens combo which looks just like 2 1/4 film and I really like it.

Normally I really try to make good, well exposed and sharp photos. Last night was busy for me, I was tired and didn't really feel like retaking the photos, they were only a little soft.

As for flower and salt in my peepers - nope, I prefer diesel fuel and break dust

This is not a Hipster forum. Why not present clear, sharp, color photos instead of bluring it intentionally with an app? Is that shooting oneself in the foot?

Geez. Who cares what the pics look like? At least I can see all the detail that I need to see... we're just looking at a broken tab, not at microbial life forms on the adjustment screw or something...

Thanks for showing a guy who is just learning these cars some useful views. Much better than any photos I've posted so far.

I have two spare pumps I will sell for less than the price of getting that welded I bet.

That is simultaneously the funniest and creepiest photo I have seen in a technical thread on PP.

Well, I knew I had to get some wine in her first. It helps pump up her self esteem!
