Instagram Holiday...

Me and my gorgeous girlfriend recently took our very first holiday away together to the Greek island of Rhodes this summer. It was absolutely stunning. Clear waters, clear skies, landscapes you wouldn't think were real. As a photographer i did take my Nikon for some nice landscape shots (which i will edit ASAP), but the easiest way to get some nice shots was obviously by using my phone… and Instagram.

I know, i know, Instagram is taboo to some photographers, it's the app which makes average person think they're professional. But i also know lots of photographers who use it just to quickly edit a snap and to let people know just what you're up to. In that sense it's a very good app! I have to say i do like Instagram for just doing quick edits of pictures you think would look nice to keep people interested in your work, but people shouldn't be called a photographer if they have an app.

So, while on holiday i used my Instagram to quickly show people what i was up to, and they came out pretty good. Nice vintage film effects which were really nice on the landscape shots. Here are just a couple of Instagram snaps before i edit the better ones and some panoramas. Enjoy!
