Thousands of New Brunswickers, and over 50 million people worldwide are doing just that with a free app for iPhones and Android phones. Instagram creates different effects on your photos for for a semi-professional look.
Local photographer Mark Hemmings tells CHSJ News he's drawn to how simple the app is, allowing users to edit photos which walking down the street or sitting at a coffee shop. It also has a built-in widget to share your snaps to Facebook and Twitter
Hemmings is currently offering workshops in iPhone-ography, as some are calling it. He says it's a great hobby for people who love taking photos but are intimidated by the rigmarole of professional camera gear.
