    "Imperfect" Pictures (well, guess I'm just bored lol)

    Lately, I became a little bored with my photography, even to a point that I rarely take pictures.

    Instead, I'm trying to give the ones that I have an "imperfect", vintage look, grainy and blurry, that's the way I share them on Instagram. Here are a few examples. What do you think?

    (Hope the URLs are working, please let me know)




    For this, I used a filter smeared with vaseline to get the blur effect:








    This one was taken while I was walking which created the motion blur:

    I can see them fine, vintage effect is nice on some, I like the lace one and the waterlily one best!

    But the "Instagram effect" is something I dread on Pet nominations!

    Glad the links are working.

    I agree, for pages like Pet of the Day, the pictures should come in a good quality, I would never contribute Instagram or Hiptamatic pictures on occasions like that. It's more a just for fun-thing; I use my Instagram account to show pictures a little bit different from the ones I usually post. BTW, the look is not only created with Instagram, I'm always doing some processing in advance. Otherwise it would be too simple, wouldn't it?

    My favorite is the water lily. That's the important part, perfectly focused and colorful.

    I really like these, Kirsten.. "imperfect" or whatever!
