Tangent over, back to trends: Say cheese

For the last few months I have regaled you all with my trials and tribulations of my workout plan. Maybe you haven't tired of reading about my lack of water consumption and sore muscles, but I want to move on to bigger and better things. Also, this is a trend blog, so let's get back to talking about trends. Or setting them. Whichever you prefer.

My new favorite trend and one that I have seen popping up everywhere is photography apps or photo editing websites that are user-friendly and don't make people like myself read a manual, which inevitably, I will stop reading halfway through. 

The best one I have found is an iphone app called Instagram. It allows the photographer to change filters as seen below or take pictures that make them look like professional photographers (see second image below).



For people like me who love photography but don't want to take the time to learn about different lens sizes, focuses and dark room habits, this is perfect. Not sure how professional photographers feel about this although I would love to hear about it. Maybe they feel the same way journalists feel about bloggers... (I can say that because I'm both. Tee-hee.)

While looking to see how many people have jumped on this trend, I stumbled upon this site:


So if you want to be a professional photographer, read up and if you are a professional photographer, I would love to hear your views on apps like this.
