How I edit my Instagram photos
17:00
A couple of months ago, I wrote a post called How I edit my blog photos and you seemed to really like it so i am back with another photo editing post, this time with my instagram photos. I really enjoy taking photos for Instagram even though I forget to post often.
The first thing I do is take the photo. Depending on where I am, I either use my camera, the Canon SX410 IS, which you can buy here, or my phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. The difference of the quality is below. Most of the time, I use my phone.
For my feed,on the paintbrush bit I go on the filter C1 and turn it done to +8. Then on the spanner bit, I change the exposure to (sun symbol) to -1, the contrast (half black half white circle) to -2, saturation (gradient box) to +1 and the temperature (thermometer symbol) to -3. On the Instagram editor, I crop the photo to 1:1 ratio (square) then upload it!
I really like using VSCO Cam because the filters are amazing and you can also copy and paste edits onto photos so that you don't have to change all the settings which I find so useful! Another thing I like is how the settings scale isn't -100 to 100 it is -10 to 10 so you can be really precise and accurate. If you want to see more VSCO filter ideas, you can see my pinterest board here.

Fab post! I must get back into using VSCO cam, other than that I just edit my photos within the Instagram app as I know where I am with that :) I'm definitely going to try your tips now!

I can tell there is a MASSIVE difference between your phone camera and actual camera. The apps I tend to use to edit my photos are my Photo Editor on my Kindle Fire HD which is a great software that enables me crop,brighten, focus etc etc. Moving aside from the subject, I have nominated you for the Blogger's Recognition Award. All details are left on my blog link below.
