Instagram is the newest rage that
has hit the digital world. Especially if you notice it on sites like Facebook
and Twitter, and if you have either one, chances are you’ve seen the glossy,
filtered Smartphone photos. If not, then go ahead and look up that one Facebook
friend who posts ten pictures a day of him- or herself doing mundane things
like eating lunch and riding in the car.
Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger
developed it in San Francisco in October 2010 due to their interest in mobile
photography.
Thanks to surprisingly
good-quality camera phones and apps like Instagram, the days of using a dark
room or a big fancy camera to take cool photographs are over. So why is
everyone using Instagram? Studies have shown that Instagram users have the
intention of creating beautiful art and joining communities with this
relatively new app.
Definitely photography is still
easier than ever. And I am happy enough that the app is seriously helping users
to get back to mobile phone clicking which has recently vanished into the sky cos
of the cheap deals on digital cameras.
Personally, I think Instagram is
a great app. I recently downloaded it and Instagramed a few photos of my own. A
lot of my friends also have the app and I really enjoy seeing them posted on
Facebook and Twitter. Instagram brings together people who have a common
interest and encourages them to display their creativity. It is a fun way to
make art and I believe that this app will only gain in popularity with the
social savvy world.
Instagram is free, too, and can
be downloaded on IPhone and Androids. So if you’re exhausted of your regular
old photos and want to dapper them up with color and some cool filter effects,
check out Instagram! And don’t forget to post the tons of test shots on your
Facebook. I want to see them, really! :)
