You just provided me with a context to discuss Instagram. :) No self-defensiveness in my comments at all.Marchttp://theeagleandchild.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695060.post-62599338975125963382013-06-21T20:20:14.789+01:002013-06-21T20:20:14.789+01:00And BTW you'll notice that some of your adjust...And BTW you'll notice that some of your adjusted images I have been complementary about - I don't do that if I don't like a picture.Toni Ertlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191085694671148065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695060.post-61055835118102641062013-06-21T20:18:38.054+01:002013-06-21T20:18:38.054+01:00Hi Marc, the reason I added the disclaimer about y...Hi Marc, the reason I added the disclaimer about you & Randall was because I know you've both used the effects sometimes. Guess I'm a photography nazi, but when it's every picture of everyday scenes showing your family doing ordinary family stuff something in me cries "enough". We don't use instamatic or 110 cameras any more because they were really REALLY bad, but this is like deliberately going back and doing all that stuff again. Sure do it creatively where it adds to the photo, but as with my comment you referred to about sodding up an image, if you want to do it, fine, but like a fat bloke wandering round naked, don't keep showing everyone because it's embarrassing.<br /><br />:-)Toni Ertlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191085694671148065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695060.post-51220286543682936122013-06-21T17:52:49.810+01:002013-06-21T17:52:49.810+01:00I was going to say something the other day on one ...I was going to say something the other day on one of your posts where you mention Instagram. I've debated the use of the filters, etc. The truth is, I like the end results I get. When I process a picture from my DSLR, I'm manipulating it as well, getting it to look the way I want it to look, to get an "effect", whether it's realism, sharpness, depth of colour, or whatever. I may not take them to some of the vintage effects of Instagram, but I think the same principle is at work. I came to the conclusion that it's possible to do the same thing with Instagram, except that filters and effects are preset.<br /><br />I may tire of it eventually, but it's fun and convenient at the moment.<br /><br />I get more annoyed with all the pictures (as opposed to photographs) and "selfies" people post (as well as the word "selfie").Marchttp://theeagleandchild.comnoreply@blogger.com
