Still recuperating from the flu. Spent most of this morning browsing a forum that compares instagram posts to reality. As most everybody who has used the web knows--which is pretty much everybody at this point--the stuff we see online is often filtered and photoshopped and edited. Even the video editing is quite spectacular now using free phone apps. You can edit out someone's wrinkles or bulges, make their nose slimmer or their chin smaller. Popular options are tinier waists, bigger butts, almost invisible noses, and artificially-smooth skin.
You can can get phone apps that record you and edit out anything you like in real time. You can get fuller hair, a more chiseled face, even add makeup to your moving visage.
What really got me was this little technique, as demonstrated (inadvertently?) by this instagrammer. You might not see it at first...but....
So apparently there are filters for landscapes too. Empty blue sky? BOOOORING! Who needs it. Spice it up with a cloud or two.
Oh how funny. Her life is lived under that particular set of clouds. I don't get it. Don't they eventually have to look in the mirror?
ReplyDeleteThe bar has been set, Patti. I expect your future photos to have white fluffy clouds. Even if they're indoors.
