I love Instagram. I’m not so much a fan of the social aspect, although I do love looking at some of the fabulous photographs taken on the iPhone. A couple of really cool features are Tilt shift and Depth of Field. They can give your photo a totally different look. Read more about it on the Instragram blog!
This is an app for your iPad. I’ve really been into iPhone photography lately, not just taking pictures but looking at photos others have taken. Nothing shows off beautiful photos like your iPad. This app is called Stuck on Earth, it’s a compilation of photographs taken around the world. Just type in the location you’d like to see and it brings up 100’s of breathtaking photos. I don’t travel much so this makes it possible to see the world without leaving my living room. The kids enjoyed [traveling] to far away places with me in this app as well. Happy travels!
This is on my Christmas list and it should be on yours too!
