Instagram: THE photography app for social media!

Instagram is a social media application that allows you to take a photo from your mobile device, edit that photo through many different filters and designs, and then share that photo with your sphere. How it differs from other forms of social media is instead of writing a status update describing what you are doing, you are letting a photo tell your story.

With Instagram you can take a live or downloaded photo from a smart phone or tablet and then process it through multiple filters that will change the image's look and feel.

You can even do additional technical tweaks to the photo like changing the brightness, shadows, contrast, and more to really make the photo shine!

Once you have finished editing your photo simply add a caption to it (optional) and then post it onto your Instagram profile. You can even choose to share that photo to your other social media profiles like Facebook or Twitter, thus eliminating the process of having to upload a photo onto each individual profile.

Pro Tip: #Hashtags

A # (A.K.A. the pound sign) is a way to make a word or string of words into a searchable category on social media. The purpose it serves is to expand the reach of your post to anyone outside of your connections that is interested in the # topic.

For Example: #CENTURY21Award
