Instagram Part 3

Above: A rusty fence. This is quite nice I think.

I had no idea I was going to write a trilogy of Instagram posts but I found a lost folder of photos that I had posted to Instagram in 2012/13 as briefly alluded to previously. I mentioned that I liked a filter but oh boy, I had no idea. I don’t know if this still happens but in the olden days, when you destroyed altered your photos using Instagram’s filters, then they were saved in a separate album on your phone. I’ve backed this up at some point and have just rediscovered it. Now I present a small selection for your entertainment.

I just took photos of everything I saw. Everything. Then I filtered the conkers out of it. Some were so oversaturated I couldn’t even tell what they were. I don’t think I was so pretentious as to think that I was being artistic, I’m not sure what I was thinking to be honest.
I liked them at the time even though they are hilarious to look at now.

Above: Lost and found.

Above: What am I even doing here?

I have actually started using vignettes again, though not in such an extreme fashion. I think that they’re an effective way of spotlighting the subject of the picture if there’s a lot of other stuff around it. That’s my excuse anyway.

Above: Mind the gap actually shifted a few units on Redbubble amazingly (until TfL made me take it down which is just weird). Middle pic is Newborough on Anglesey and the right hand picture is from Chester.

Above: Most of the photos in this post were taken on the walks I was taking daily.

This is probably going to be my last Instagram themed blog post (never say never (edit from the present: I have binned Instagram now so definitely my last one)), I do enjoy a look at older photos though and I think that some of these aren't too bad, I mean some are bonkers but on the whole I stand by a lot of them.

Above: I like this one so much that I use it as the contact pic for the local garage, though they have taken the old sign down now.
