Do you use Instagram?

I just started playing with it last night with a few photos on my iPhone's camera roll. Wow, it's been fun!
I especially like how this one turned-out:


Here are some more results of my play.

Do you have any to share?

I don't have an iPhone. Does it require an iPhone?

There's a version for Android, too.

Great pic!

Great to take photos. I don't particular care for that type of overall "finish" on the photo on a frequent basis. Occasional liker only.

It reminds me of looking at a 1960's-1970's photo, which maybe that's the point. (I just feel old when I look at it. ) Or maybe I'm not understanding the different special instant effects on the digital photo.

Yep, often it has that effect. Sometimes I see filters applied to photos and I don't like them at all. I like what it did for this shot, though:


After giving it some Instagram treatment:

OK, maybe I am dense, but what does this do? They just look like normal pictures to me.
Why would I use this? I see a few of my friends posting things done with Instagram, but I thought it was just a way to actually take pictures.

Zoom-zoom,
Those are great pics! Your very talented. Any chance you have formal training?

Thanks! Yep, I have a BA in Photography (more of a photojournalism bent, as my alma mater's Photography degree program fell under their Communications department, rather than Fine Arts). Things have really changed since I received that degree. Digital was still really new and REALLY expensive. All of my coursework was film-based. Now I don't even own a film camera (which makes me kind of sad, but it's just no longer practical at all, unfortunately).
