Thank you for that.
I think I rememb...Oh, awesome! Thank you for that.<br /><br />I think I remember Ilana from Mommyshorts mentioning Snapseed when I asked her about apps but for some reason, I thought it was only for the iPad....which makes no sense...<br /><br />I will check out Snapseed and that blog post for sure. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-59771766881895844262013-02-06T09:27:13.097-08:002013-02-06T09:27:13.097-08:00I only use the borders on Instagram occasionally -...I only use the borders on Instagram occasionally - I don't feel that they necessarily 'add' to a photo, if you know what I mean, but they can be fun. And low light = enemy no. 1 for iPhone pics! Gah, I've had to delete so many grainy shots because of low light. <br /><br />Most of the shots here have had the Instagram filters applied, but have been tweaked beforehand with the Snapseed app (my favourite app). I use Snapseed to up the contrast or brightness. Also, if I want to go black & white, I tend to do that on Snapseed as I like the subtle control there is to adjust (again) the brightness or contrast. Much better than the blanket black & white filters on IG. The tilt shift function on Snapseed is 1000 times superior to the IG one as well. Lots of fun!<br /><br />For the sepia-toned look (like the one with Miss Pie and her ice cream) I go b&W first, then try out one of the IG filters on top. You'd be amazed at how cool they are when the colour is taken away beforehand. My favourite combo is b&w first, then the Earlybird filter.<br /><br />I don't really bother with filters from other apps, although I do sometimes use PicFX for its Marshmallow, Vintage Film, or light (bokeh) filters. <br /><br />Sometimes I think about doing a post for this but a) I hardly have enough of a readership that'd be interested, and b) so many bloggers have already written about it. I don't know if you've ever read Grumbles and Grunts? I do sometimes, but mostly I follow her on IG. Anyhow, she recently wrote a great post about getting beautiful iPhone shots like hers, and I was nodding my head to a lot of it as it's stuff I've been figuring out too: <br /><br />http://www.grumblesandgrunts.com/2013/01/how-to-best-iphone-camera-tips-tricks.html<br /><br />xxxMadeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-44058820272691319022013-02-06T01:26:51.164-08:002013-02-06T01:26:51.164-08:00I just can't cope with the awesome.
Now let&#...I just can't cope with the awesome.<br /><br />Now let's talk pic apps. What are you using? These don't look like standard Instagram - or are they? And you just removed the borders? <br /><br />Why do I only ever have my phone out in lowlight situations? How come everywhere you go is picturesque? And also, are you the only person who walks in LA?<br /><br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
