Who says a beautiful picture has to come from an expensive camera? Now days photography presents itself at the most random of moments; the best thing is that now with the use of cell phones and photography applications none of the moments that are treasured most have to be missed. The growing interest in photography has gained a whole new social network, Instagram. At any point of the day their may be a chance to capture a kindergartener lost in translation, or possibly an amazing sunset.
Digita cameras did not become popular until about 10 years ago, and now everyone from elderly to elementary age people are capable of attaining them; yet there is an increased use of cellular devices to take all kinds of pictures. No one really feels the need to buy a camera anymore unless it's professional grade because there is constantly an increase in the performance of cameras on cell phones. Why buy a $700 camera when you can use a smart phone with editing apps such as PicStitch, PhotoBucket, and Photogrid to gain the same effect.
From personal experience if I want the best photo possible I like to use my professional Nikon D5100. It takes the most beautiful pictures of all the other pictures I have taken with previous cmaeras I have owned. There is not one single style that can not be taken on the Nikon D5100. However, in everyday life it is just not convienent to carry around professional grade equipment when all that is wanted is to snap shot a neice or nephew on the train located in Shortpump Mall. So, while I enjoy using a fancy camera I settle for using the one on my phone and take advantage of all the apps available to me. Photo editing apps are amazing thing in deed.

Great Job Alexis! I think it's really interesting how many editing apps there are on the smart phone. I knew of a few but I didn't know there were so many! Thanks for sharing that with us!
ReplyDeleteI think this was a great idea for a post; it applies perfectly to the age of technology we live in. My only question is, which photo editing app have you found to be your favorite and why?
