THE MINIMALS™ TESTING / 645PRO

Hey guys, today we will do something unusual: an app review.

Serious.

Why?

Everything starts from there, right?

from the shot with our device and the results we achieve.

We want to talk about “645pro“. Some say it is the ultimate app for mobile photography, all the controls, manual settings, are at your fingertips.

Ok. We tried it: great app, honest!

spot metering: wow!

display that shows data recovery: fantastic!

Live preview of effects: superb!

but ….

Yeah, there is a but.

Aside from the fact you don’t get the chance to shoot using the volume shutter button, which is something very useful when you do streetphotography, do you REALLY need anything else to shoot with?

We think not. You can shoot with this, or with Camera+, ProCamera or God knows how many apps out there.

But your Iphone comes with a native camera.

Pretty good at what it should do. Shoot pictures, possibly good ones.

That’s the point in the end.

No matter what apps or how many technical features you buy, your idea and your “feeling the scene” right before shooting will always be the result that really counts.

And you do that ONLY with eyes™ and stomach™.

   

 

 

 

 

 

Ciao ragazzi, oggi faremo qualcosa di insolito: una recensione di un’app.

Perché?

Tutto parte sempre da lì, giusto?

Dallo scatto con il nostro dispositivo e dai risultati che otteniamo.

Vogliamo parlare di “645pro“.

Alcuni dicono che è l’applicazione definitiva per la mobile photography, tutti i controlli, i setting manuali, sono a portata di mano.

Ok. L’abbiamo testata: grande applicazione, giuriamo!

misurazione spot? Wow!

display che mostra i dati di ripresa? Fantastico!

Anteprima dal vivo di effetti? Superba!

ma ….

Sì, c’è un ma…

 

Tralasciando parte il fatto che non si ha la possibilità di scattare utilizzando il pulsante volume laterale, che è qualcosa di molto utile quando devi fare streetphotography, abbiamo realmente bisogno di qualcos’altro per scattare le nostre foto con iphone?

Noi pensiamo di no. Puoi scattare con questa app, o magari con Camera+, ProCamera o Dio solo sa quante altre applicazioni in commercio.

Ma il vostro Iphone è GIA’ dotato di una fotocamera nativa.

Abbastanza buona per quello che dovrebbe fare. Catturare immagini, possibilmente BUONE immagini.

Questo è il punto, alla fine.

Non importa quale sia il numero di applicazioni o caratteristiche tecniche si acquistino, in realtà la vostra idea e il vostro “sentire la scena” poco prima dello scatto sarà sempre il risultato che conta davvero.

E questo lo fai solo con gli occhi e con lo stomaco.

The Minimals™ believe in a NO Frills / LESS edit / JUXT PHOTOGRAPHY State of Mind.

  1. This is my first visit to your blog . You’re making a great job guys !
    About your comments of 640pro, I agree with you, as I commented you before on Path, I prefer to play randomly and there are more than enough possibilities with so many apps, than 640pro isn’t needed.

    • Thank You Ricardo™!
      For reading and feedbacking here.
      We love to hear from you, so keep it up

  2. Just downloaded it, a few people have mentioned to me so far, I’ll be in NYC this weekend, Ill test it out!
    thanks for the heads up dudes!

    • Cool David™!
      let us know your feedback and have a great NYC street WE (wish we could be there too!)

      • i didn’t use it at all, its going to take some getting used to.. ill keep you posted

        • you are prob right David!
          not a minimal app at all
          thanks for your feedback

  3. I saw a lot of comments on twitter and blogs where people said this app would be a ‘game changer’. After playing with it, I disagree. It’s just another camera app that takes actually more time to work than most apps (because I had to read all the instructions). I went right back to using the native camera after a few days. I am all for simplicity with my photo taking and the 645 pro is certainly not simple enough for me!

    • Thats why we adore our MILADY MINIMALS™
      you stay that way, please!

    • totally agree with our LADY MINIMALS™!!

  4. Great review! Love these shots, and can’t wait to get this app and try it myself.

    • Hey Rita, MINIMAL in Hawaii™, thank you for your LOVE™
      please let us know how this app turned out to be for you.
      Was it simple enough to use?
      Any comments!
      Mahalo nui loa, Rita™

  5. I am about to use it during the weekend.
    One i’ve been using more and more is the Camera Awesome.Really really cool and fast!

      Ciao fratello™

  6. LOve the point you made. No matter how many apps you have YOU make the shot. Not the app <3

  7. Just popped in to say I’m a fan! Ciao

    • Ciao Nei™
      you have your own personal seat at Casa Minimals, you know that!

  8. I really enjoy the Minimial ™ reads here. I could not agree more with the above statement. It is about the original shot and how your artistic eye sees it coming together. The Minimal™ approach is brilliant. I enjoy finding you guys all over the various platforms! :)
