Instagram

Popular iphone app Instagram was recently released for Android, so I downloaded it to give it a try.

First impression are that it's nice and user-friendly, but there are fewer options than the Camera360 app I've had for a while now. Also, unlike Camera360, you don't seem to be able to access a saved version of the "converted" image. With 360, you have the original image and the "tweaked" version, which is a nice feature.

Don't get me wrong, I like how some of the images look, and I'll certainly make use of it in the future, but it's not going to be my first choice.

Here's a not-that-great example, from one of my first tries with it.

I don't have a title for this one...

I seem to be taking a lot of "moody" black and white photos just now. I really like B&W images, and my phone seems to do them quite well.

This is a sculpture at Kelvingrove Art Gallery, and I clicked on impulse when I saw my daughter through it. I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

You Are Here

My daughter is beautiful. I will accept no arguments on this.

Here, she's not actually pointing where we are. She's pointing at Glasgow University, and we're down the hill at Kelvingrove Art Gallery.

I took a few more on our day out, and I'll post them in due course.

Street Corner

This picture isn't perfect, but it was shot in a hurry, through a dirty window. I'm surprised anything is visable here.

If I could, I'd go back and get this one again.
