New Polaroid ShakeItPhoto Contest Starts Now!

admin — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 21:01:00 +0000

Hope you’re enjoying the new ShakeItPhoto 2.0! We’re so excited about the new Official Polaroid option. It’s been a while in the making and we’re happy to hear that so many of you are really liking the Polaroid look!

To celebrate the release of 2.0, we’re doing a contest. It will be similar to the Banana Camera Co contests that we’ve done in the past. In case you haven’t been apart of those, here are the details:

Theme

Reminiscent. (Be creative as you want! There are no rules!)

Submit

Enter your ShakeItPhotos into the Banana Camera Co Contest Flickr group. You may post up to one photo per day for the duration of the contest. The contest begins April 25th and ends May 2nd.

For this contest, please use only the new Polaroid ShakeItPhoto look (update if you haven’t already). You may use other apps in addition to SIP, but SIP must be used (obviously).

Winner

The winner and winning entry will be posted and announced on the Banana Camera Co blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr within a few days of the contest’s close. We will include your website/blog, Twitter info, etc., so be sure it’s on your Flickr profile (or email it to me) if you’re interested in having us share that info. (I will also post some Honorable Mentions.)

Show Us Your Entry

If you want to, Tweet your entry in the contest (using the link to your photo/entry in the Flickr Group) and mention @BananaCameraCo. We love to see and RT the contest entries!

Questions? Post them here or email us at info@ShakeItPhoto.com

Hope you guys have fun with this! Can’t wait to see your pics!

He actually won a copy of one of our apps a while ago when we were giving them away via Twitter and has been creating incredible ShakeItPhoto and CrossProcess photos ever since. He’s been a part of our BananaCameraCo contests (he won an Honorable Mention and has always given us great, constructive feedback. If you follow any iPhoneographer, follow Robert-Paul Jansen.

Check out how beautiful these photos are. They should be in magazines (do people still read magazines?). I love them all. Taken with CrossProcess and ShakeItPhoto.

Academy Award Winner, Lee Unkrich, Celebrates with @ShakeItPhoto #iphoneography

We are huge fans of Pixar and last night, the director of Toy Story 3, Lee Unkrich, won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

We’ve known that Mr. Unkrich has been using ShakeItPhoto for a while now. He brings “Big Baby” (a scary droopy-eyed tiny, naked doll from the movie) with him and shoots ShakeItPhoto pics of Big Baby’s adventures; lounging on the beach in Hawaii, visiting Greecian ruins, training it to Dublin, hangin’ with Michael Cera, Don Rickles, George Costanza’s mom, and even chilling in a big artichoke.

Last night, we took a gander at Lee’s Twitter and saw that he’d been capturing the night by taking shots with ShakeItPhoto. Big Baby got a new friend that night, too. Congrats, Lee!

All of @LeeUnkrich’s photos.

Modernismism by @kylevanblerk – a 365 Photo Blog

admin — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:31:32 +0000

It seems simple: “One photo, every day. Shot and edited on an iPhone by Kyle van Blerk, London”. These photos are processed using the CrossProcess app, but they aren’t your average shots. We love Kyle’s site, Modernismism because he shakes it up by taking CrossProcess photos and editing them in unique and different ways. Kyle, you’re awesome. Thanks for using the app.

Weather Eye Out is Matthew Burgess’ photo website. A beautiful collection of ShakeItPhotos pics. In an email to us, Matthew wrote: I’ve been using ShakeItPhoto for almost a year and a half and I can safely say it has changed my life. Sounds ridiculous but it’s true.” We’re flattered, Matthew! Please be sure to check out both his blog and website for his iphoneography goodness. (If you’d like to be featured as one of our Fave Photo streams/Photo blogs, email us at info@shakeitphoto.com with a link to your website/blog/flickr stream and any other info {website, twitter, etc.} and we’ll choose some of the streams to feature!

Sweet @etsy shop Liddle uses photography by @ShakeItPhoto

While searching for some vintage boy’s clothing on etsy, I happened upon this great kids’ shop, Liddle, with all photos taken with ShakeItPhoto. It’s an easy and pretty way for etsy shop owners to quickly upload photos of their items! { By the way, if you have some great ShakeItPhoto or CrossProcess shots you’d like us to feature, email us at info@shakeitphoto.com! }
