London in an instant

Just a little taster of what I’ll be posting from our New Year’s weekend in London…

I rather like all these Instagrams I’m seeing everywhere at the moment, but I don’t have an iPhone or anything with apps or whatever they are (I’m sooo uncool when it comes to modern technology and gadgets). These pics remind me of my photography degree days when we tried all sorts of similar photographic tricks in the darkroom (ask your grandmother what one of those was 😉

So if anyone’s interested in getting the same effects with standard pictures, I used http://pixlr.com/o-matic/ where you can create all sorts of effects on your standard snapshots – it’s easy to use and they look fabulous! It’s a fair bit of work and you’ll need to crop your photos square first, but if you’re into the photography side of blogging I think it’s worth it.

Outfit post tomorrow!
