Instagram - The shortcut to better photography!

Instagram is a photo-sharing app that was launched in 2010 for iPhone users. You could easily edit a photograph and share it with your friends within seconds.. It worked like magic.



A few months ago, the app was extended to Android users too! Millions of people downloaded it s soon as it was launched. And they were not disappointed. The interface looks beautiful and it is easy to use. It is fast and there are a lot of preset photo edits you can choose from.. And then in a click or two, you can share it with your social networking buddies..

The best part of this app is that the process of editing is so easy.. You have a bunch of filters, you can add blur, and even frame it.. You can also geo-tag your photos and add a caption so that your friends know where you took the photo.. It's all done within seconds.. The first time I used it, I enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to login to Facebook, everytime, to share a photo. It worked like a charm. You can follow people and they can follow you too! You get all the photos your friends have shared in a page similar somewhat to the Facebook newsfeed. And yes, you can "like"  photos too!


Instagram is a a god-send for people who want their photos to look awesome, even though they really don't want to spend a lot of time editing it.. The photos shared here were not taken with my phone. But I did use Instagram to just add some basic filters..












Here's the link to the Android app and the iPhone app. Enjoy!
