I have been using the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone for the last few months. In case you're not familiar with it, it produces the appearance of an old toy/cheap camera, and can simulate actual old lenses, films and flashes.
Using it makes photography very unpredictable, and a lot of fun! You never quite know what you're going to get, and you need to concentrate even more than usual on the forms and tones of what you're shooting, wondering whether it will work in Hipstamatic. You often get distorted colours, out of focus areas, and also unusual edge effects depending upon which "film" and "lens" combination you're using. To make it even more unpredictable, if you shake the phone it will change the lens and film at random!
Here's a link to some Hipstamatics that I've done over the last few months. See what you think - instant art or just bad photos? These are straight "out of the camera", with no Photoshop work.
The link is here.
