Photography Filters? That's something you can't win an argument against.

10 months ago

I believe we are in an era where technology is giving us a lot of options to explore and a good number of these come in the form that helps everyone interested to tweak some things about how they project themselves to the rest of the world. This is why it's not uncommon for someone with the necessary skillset to project him or herself in ways that are different from their true self.

Do you know that someone can sit in his home and take a picture of himself and then use Photoshop image-editing software to tweak the image and make it look like he's dining with someone he may never get to meet in this life?

Some people would see that and laud the creativity and skillset used to pull that off. However, some other set of people would see that and tag it as a deceitful act. Whatever the case may be, the fact is that these things are out there and more of the software that can be used to edit or filter images or even videos are growing in numbers.

So, we have gotten to a point where everyone has to take the burden upon themselves to try and screen images they see to know if what they are seeing is the real thing or something that passed through several layers of editing, filtration and Photoshopping. Hehe. It goes without saying that...

Image filters are taking center stage and it has become very easy to have access to these filters.

So, have you started applying filters to your pictures?

There is this App called Snapchat that people have used for several years to add filters to their pictures for whatever reason. I heard about Snapchat since years ago and I'm usually very curious about stuff that piques my interest. However, I never got to check out Snapchat until when a friend wanted to take pictures with my phone and asked if I had the App.

I was like; "I know I have a phone camera. What do you need Snapchat for?" Haha.

Wow!

She got the go-ahead and installed the App on my phone. The level of Joy on her face while playing with that App knows no bounds. It almost feels like there is something magical attached to those filters. Haha. I took part in the pictures and I'm still fascinated with the endless list of filters on the App.

You would think the series of pictures we took on the App would be enough to whet my appetite and make me a Snapchat filter fanatic.

Hah! Haha!

The opposite is the case!

I dunno... It just never crosses my mind to check the App. It's almost like the App is invisible because nothing draws me to it. However, whenever my friend gets to toy with my phone, chances are always 50/50 that she will play around with Snapchat and its crazy filters. Haha

Does it mean that it's wrong to use filters?

There are some things you will never win an argument against and it feels like the use of photography filters is one of those. Hehe. So, if you love it, keep using it and flex it as much as you want. However, if you are someone like me and you don't feel enthusiastic about using filters when taking pictures, then, I suggest you don't make any bones about those that use it. Haha.

Potayto...Potahto, right?
