Woohoo, looks like I've figured out how to post to the blog from my phone. This means I can now post all my Instagram photos here as well. For those not in the know Instagram is a smart phone app which applies filters to your photos, majorly reducing the resolution and then posts them. It's good for those moments when you're just out and about and want to let people know what you are up to. It's part of the phonography which is taking off at the moment, in fact there is even an exhibition in London at the moment dedicated solely to photos taken with iPhones, some of them look really good.
Instagram is a funny little program, I kind of like it as it's sort of an update on the go to those people following you, plus you can post directly to Facebook (but not blogger, boo hiss!). It's also kind of cool to see what really good photographers can do with just their rubbish little iPhone and a couple of pre-made filters. But then that of course leads to debate, as some people just use instagram as a means of uploading their beautifully crafted, photoshopped photos, which completely blow iPhone pictures out of the water. People think that sort of behaviour goes against the spirit of the medium as it should be about embracing the iPhone's flaws, but then I think sometimes people are waay too competitive. So anyway a few low-quality phonographs for you and hopefully I'll be able to keep these coming in the future.
Apologies to those who have seen these already, a bit of a lazy post really :)
