Instagram ruins the picture, btw.
Also, Tammy, what camera are you using?
Nikon D80
It's good, but Instagram is just cheap. I'm a bit of a supremecist when it comes to my photography, yeah, but... Iunno.
I just don't like them and think They never turn out all that great.
Your pictures are nice, but I'd like to see them without all the effects.
I have mixed feelings about Instagram. I want to hate it because it makes things way too easy and accessible. With Instagram, what would normally take some skill in image manipulation software can be done with the press of a button (yeah, most of the stuff you can do with Instagram is really easy with just basic knowledge, but most people don't even know what Photoshop is).
However, opening these possibilities up to everyone isn't a bad thing, and I think Instagram helps encourage some people to start thinking a little more about how they take their pictures.
What really annoys me is when people start using Instragram on every picture they take. It can work if you think about it, it just looks bad when you use it on a random picture of your friends playing a video game. Additionally, when you make something easy people loose their appreciation.
Well, with that aside, here is a small dump:
