I don’t know if this is a joke, but these instagrams are awful. In no way do I mean to dismiss the author and I certainly don’t mean to dismiss instagram (@ommmm). I am an avid user; I don’t suggest instagram replaces proper composition or lighting of choice of editing, but these edits are gimmicky. I mean the blur effect on Amy just looks like it was throw on there to make fun of the program. Some users, e.g. MattFrench, pketron, wisslaren, audiosoup etc. do extraordinary things with the program. These are poor crops and poorly selected filters. Try instagram and don’t let these these reformats of classics convince you an iPhone app is worthless. It will never replace a professional camera, but it can’t make up for poor composition, a mistake this selection, internationally or not, makes.

Why do people think that pictures are improved by artificial effects?

It’s like photography with silicon implants. Yes, it may produce some short-term wow effect but as time passes it becomes just silly, artificial and quite trite or even tasteless….

Twenty years from now parents will look back at pictures of their first born…taken with a cell phone and processed with Instagram and wonder how to resurrect the original image. Some photos are just to valuable to apply radical treatments in the name of “adding character”. Some moments deserve to be captured well and accurately. Make a copy and split tone or alter to your heart’s content…but keep the original for the future. Just saying… Bleached flare on a baby is uncool, not cool.

Do the filters improve reality? No. Do they improve a banal photo? Occasionally. But a photo with zero merit … zero times anything is still zero.

Iconic Photos “Re-taken” with Instagram. Do these filters “improve” the original? I personal don’t think they improve the quality of the original. However when applying different filters they can help promote a different feel to the image.
