Mobile Things & photos - 2

The second Thing explores Using mobile devices to take photos. Obviously the camera on your device for capturing still photos and video, and also some of the photo apps for sharing photos and messages like 'Instagram' and 'Snapchat'.


I downloaded the Instagram app just on a year ago, and use it to send photos to distant friends, played with the editing and the filtering.
I hadn't checked out Snapchat which seems to again have the immediacy of chatting, very "now".
Have the Flickr app, just haven't used it to actually take a photo, I'm more inclined to use it to check on my Groups, and Recent Activity.


From the Pinterest Board, checked out the link to '9 interesting ways to use Instagram for your library' which has ideas on promoting what you're doing, advertising events, as using a photo is worth 1,000 words.

Homework - take a photo of a library sign with an app then play with the filters & effects. The Flickr upload initially failed, so here's the Instagram shot.
