Do you know that Instagram is one of the best application ever invented for photographers ? If you don't believe me just look at this photo by Luce Virtuale.
Photographer : Luce Virtuale
Luce Virtuale Tumblr & site : Luce Virtuale & www.lucevirtuale.it (you can also find him on Instagram looking for @robertzvinx, his Instagram really worths a visit !)
Why Luce Virtuale ? Luce Virtuale is making me
falling in love with Instagram. I know that he travels a lot and I like
to see snaps of trips like that. When I traveled two years ago in South
Korea and Japan, I didn’t know that something like Instagram existed if I
knew I would have taken a lot of pictures but instead I wrote
everything I saw there (which is not a bad thing though ! ).
What I’m seeing. When I first saw this picture I
thought it was a painting because of the rich colors then I realised it
wasn’t. Eventhough it has not been taken with a proper camera, this
picture attracted me because it was like a real painting composition. It
was as if I were looking a painting from some indian fairy tale.
Instagram is for me a way to train my eye to see what could make a
really great picture. With it you don’t have to pay attention to
exposure, aperture etc..I think that because of this it helps focusing
on what is commonly known as the photographic eye that I don’t have yet.
Know that I am seeing how Luce Virtuale is doing I think I’m having an
idea on how to use my own Instagram account.
amazing photo!
ReplyDeleteI do love instagram as well.. but I don't have an iphone so I'm not into it yet... when it comes to technology I suck at it.. I'm more into the old school kind of way,.. LPs over Cds and ipod, no celphones, no sofisticated digital camera, walking over driving, old books over kindle, no ipad, etc... but that instagram app is making me wanna modernize myself a bit.. we'll see.. take care!
Actually I am like you too ahaha. I can't read on Ipad or Kindle I need to have the real thing, it is precious to me. For Instagram as I said it is good to train my eye for my photos, you know I don't use a digital camera to take my pictures (not the one you see on the blog^^) I use my old Agfa Flexilette, but it seems like I am not able yet to take any good picture, I mean I am not satisfied with myself. So I think that using an app like Instagram will help me be more alert about what I could photograph :).
Deleteps : I never wished to have a smartphone it was lil' bro who gave it to me ahahaha, but I still have AND use my very 1999-2000 cellphone ;)
Shug
