What would it look like if the retro filters found in smartphone camera apps were turned into a real filter you could slap onto the front of your lens? A couple of Stanford product design students think they have an answer.
Olivia Vagelos and Martin Bush have started a new camera filter brand called Mount July, which features the world’s first multi-color, radially graduated filters.
Unlike traditional filters, which feature single colors and linear gradients, Mount July filters boast uniquely designed colorful patterns that can add both subtle and vibrant colors to your photos. What’s more, you can even stack the filters and rotate them for even more color options.
The filters are built for universal use, and will be suitable for both digital and film photographers. They can even be used by filmmakers want to add a touch of color to their footage without having to work with the data in a video editing program.
Spec-wise, the filters will be created using high-quality multi-coated optical glass that doesn’t sacrifice image quality for novelty. The ring of the filter is made of lightweight and durable aluminum, and will be compatible with all 58mm camera lenses (or 52mm lenses when using an included adapter).
Vagelos and Bush are planning to launch the filters on Kickstarter at the end of this month, raising money through the platform in order to cover manufacturing costs. Once the filters begin hitting store shelves, they’ll cost less than $30 apiece.
You’ll likely be hearing much more about these filters within the next couple of weeks, but until then you can follow along with the project through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr.
Haha, this is just way too hilarious. I hope they’ll start selling memory cards that only lets you see the pictures after a couple of days, so you can get the good old film feel.
although I commend them for trying to make changes, I just dont believe Its going to be appealing to any knowledgeable photographer.
I’m intrigued. Yes, the file is “ruined,” but digital effects will always have a more “calculated” feel compared to analog effects like this. Think of Lensbaby – when done wrong, it’s awful and gimmicky. Some people do it right, though, and it looks great.
Oh good god, if you’re going to destroy your photos at least do it digitally so they’re recoverable. Using primitive equipment to make lo-fi photos can be cool (what can I achieve with this pinhole camera?) but purposely degrading state of art kit is just stupid.
While the obvious reaction to this is “OMG hipsters”, there’s no denying it actually looks really good on the last shot, of the sunset!
You guys have never shot expired film? You’ve never cross-processed film? You’ve never shot on a crappy camera with light leaks? These are some of the effects you get when you do those things. These filters allow you to achieve this look on a digital camera. Therefore, they are simulating film.
Well, maybe I’m the only one… but I love the idea and the way the examples look! I can’t wait for the Kickstarter and I will definitely be picking up a few of these.
Thinking about using them in my next photo shoot with Idyllic Clothing and on my trip to Italy. This is a creative way to get cool effects without the need for editing and digital filters.
Well 30 bucks, one time only, not even a high price, definitely better than the routine of post processing… maybe I’ll try one in the future :)
Well, doesn’t every “pro” here preach to get it right in camera instead of in post? Well, of you’re artistic vision is having weird a** colors, you can use these filters and have a crappy photo straight out of camera. That’s how “pros” produce crap.
If money is a concern to you, you’re not hip enough for these babies to begin with. Hip people don’t care about the price, they just ask their parents for money.
Well, if you want the exact same effect over and over again, like you would achieve with one of those filters, you can just as well record a photoshop action and batch process hundreds of photos with like two clicks without destroying the originals. But go on, pay 30 bucks to destroy your photos permanently.
As soon as DSLRs running android are released, these will be obsolete. Let’s face it, that will happen in the course of next year. I would be shocked if there weren’t any android DSLRs by the end of 2014.
