Odds are, there's a powerful camera in your pocket right now. As camera technology evolved to fit on a cell phone, sharing photos with family and friends has become more widespread than ever. And while the standard camera app on a smartphone can help capture those memories worth sharing, here are a few apps that can enhance the experience.Without a doubt, Instagram is the most popular standalone photo-sharing application on the market.
It's actually so popular, Facebook decided to buy it in April for $1 billion.The app centers around adding filters to pictures to give them a "film" quality or more professional look. There are 18 different filters, the ability to add "tilt-shift" effects which blur certain parts of the picture and a quick-fix contrast button that enhances colors and shadows.
Users can "follow" friends and "like" and comment on their pictures. Plus, Instagram can instantly share the photos to other social media networks like Facebook and Twitter.Instagram is genuinely fun to use. It only takes a few seconds to snap a picture, choose a filter and upload it, and there's a small sense of satisfaction when receiving a notification that someone "liked" a picture. It's definitely the best in terms of social integration.
