There are some really good photos on instagram both compositionally and technique.

It's not just phone pics you can use ones from a ''proper'' camera.

I'm not sure I understand the elitism to be honest, the best camera you have is the one you have with you at the time.

This is partly why I never upload pics I take, whats the point in getting ripped because you're not a pro togger with the latest flashy camera and know all the techniques ? Just like comments in this thread

only pics i see critisced are those that ask for constructive comments, i think people in this section are more than happy to look at peoples point and shoot pics that they want to share without being harsh

I believe we can all appreciate a photo of something of interest. I guess it's documentation vs art. Some people take photos to document events, and some others use it as an artform.

Flickr, Instagram, posting photos here, it's all social media and essentially it's about putting a photo up and letting people comment.

Most of the Instagram stuff I've seen has been overly processed and that's not something I personally like, but if you like a photo someone posts then fair enough. It's just another way of sharing at the end of the day.

All this, plus it's Fruit-based rubbish only last time I looked.

And for that reason, I'm out.

It's elistist only releasing the fruit-based version of the app.

The Golf3 serves a purpose.

The iPhone serves no purpose better than my Galaxy SII

All the instagram (and similar) filter things just emulate film photography. Personally I'd rather do it with a proper film camera or do it with a proper digital camera and do the creative filtering myself in photoshop/lightroom.
Yes it's quick an easy but the photos and results are low quality. If you then wanted something with enough detail to print, you wouldn't have it.

But if it works for you and it inspires your creativity and interest in photography then thats fine.

I think its pretty cool to be honest. Had a quick play with it recently
