Travel Photography - Do you think instagram makes all our photos look the same?View Full Version : Do you think instagram makes all our photos look the same? jaspermanhattan Apr 13, 12, 6:18 am Hi people, do you think instagram makes all our photos look the same? more and more of us now just carry camera phones (in everyday use) but the quality is still not there yet. bring back kodak. reft Apr 13, 12, 10:18 am ... do you think instagram makes all our photos look the same? Popular trends make photographs look the same. A photographer got on a ladder to photograph a medium or larger group from the near 'eagle eye view', and for a while, that's all you saw for group photo arrangements in marketing literature and periodicals. Big Head, tiny body? Laser background fad for school photos? Fake film rebates? gfunkdave Apr 16, 12, 2:34 pm No, I think Instagram makes all its photos look crappy.

Big Head, tiny body? Laser background fad for school photos? Fake film rebates? This; while Instagram and its smartphone-filtered companions might make a lot of peoples' pictures look the same, it's only the latest in a long long series of terrible snapshot trends. The notable difference, at least in my opinion, is that - unlike most others - at least filters allow the possibility of legitimately artistic results, in the hands of someone with talent. DavenM Apr 19, 12, 12:55 am Haha I think for the people out there who take crappy pictures, I'd prefer to see all theirs as instagram. It's like seeing trash is rose tinted glasses... Doesn't look too bad, only you can't forget that smell... lalala Apr 24, 12, 9:29 am Add Content BananaJax Apr 24, 12, 2:59 pm No, I think Instagram makes all its photos look crappy. "Look at my pseudo-retro camera filter! It's like my camera phone is a dinky camera from 1965." as a traditionalist i agree 100%, but carrying around all my plastic/retro cameras isnt easy :( to OP, a fad is a fad is a fad, color correction in photos is nothing new but instragram makes it easy, also, a poorly composed/taken is a poor photo regardless of the filters used on it. wiredboy10003 Apr 24, 12, 5:05 pm A photographer got on a ladder to photograph a medium or larger group from the near 'eagle eye view', and for a while, that's all you saw for group photo arrangements in marketing literature and periodicals. I've dealt with this a lot. As cliche as it's become, it solves several design problems, the biggest being that you can't hardly see what bad taste in clothes a lot of people have. :D |
