30 Pictures in 30 Days Photo Challenge - Day 11

Use your cell phone or smart phone to take pictures for today's challenge. Plus, learn about a great app called Instagram (iphone only).

Today I want you to challenge your photographic skills with your… cell phone camera!  Whether you use an iphone, droid, blackberry or a flip phone, let's see what you got!

One app that I do love (for iphone only, unfortunately) is instagram.  It's awesome and is available in the app store.  It can make anyone feel like a photographer!  They have a ever expanding list of edits that you can do in one click, and it can really change your image!

You can make prints, postcards, magnets and even books out of your instagram images.  It's really quite fascinating. 

I have included a few of my favorites.  Several of which my kids have taken. Which is a hint for a future day in this challenge.  :) 

Here is a link to their blog. It's well worth the visit and the download if you don't have it. They'll give you all sorts of ideas! It's very inspirational and better yet, you can follow your friends and people of interest on it as well. 

So today there is no theme other than it has to be a cell phone picture or pictures…  BE original!
