I have begun using an app that has some unique characteristics. It is called Gudak, a play on Kodak I suspect, and operates like a cheap point and shoot film camera. The app only allows you to shoot 24 frames, it then “processes the film over 3 days, and once a film is finished you have to wait 24 hours before you can reload a film!

So far I have shot about 3 rolls and I like what I’m getting. Lots of chromatic aberrations, a huge parallax error witnessed above by the fact the skull was meant to be dead centre, the same horizontal shot completely chopped off the chin.

When making pictures that have parallel edges, there’s plenty of distortion there too.

As an added bonus, you get random fogging and other analogue film simulated defects as well.

In low light conditions such as inside the NGV last week, it even underexposes your pictures as a point and shoot without flash would.

All in all this is a fun app to use and puts the challenge of old analogue point and shoots back in your pocket everywhere all the time for a fraction of the cost!
