Instagram, A Quick Look
I am going to talk about a little Android/iOS application called Instagram
I dont know if you have heard about it before, chances are very good you have, since it’s becoming an app phenomenon. There is one short sentence to give a concise explanation about Instagram - It makes your photos look old-fashioned and attractive.
It doesn’t stop there, Instagram have great social features and you can can upload your snaps online and share it via Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr and Foursquare in one go. If you choose not to share your snap on sosial websites, there are numerous Instagram-photo sites online. So in essence, anyone can see your photo reel if they are either following you in Instagram or know your profile name and access it via a website.

These are just some sample that I have taken over the past couple of months of using the app with my Samsung Galaxy S2.
A great feature of Instagram is that it keeps your original image and merely puts the effect on after the photo is taken (So you wont loose any original photos). Also, photos get stored on your phone at a decent resolution of 2048 x 2048, so the resolution is more that 1080p ( FullHD ) if you want to use these as wallpapers or prints.
