Starting my Instagram experience

I guess it was only a matter of time until I would start using this Instagram. It has been all over the online world, bloggers using it to share bits and pieces of their personal lives and I have to admit that it is fun to play around with the different gadgets. Still, I am a bit partial when it comes to the picture quality. It gives your shots a nice vintage look and works great for in-the-moment shots, but it could never be a substitute for my SLR.

I use Instagram when I am out and about without my other camera, when I want to hold on to a moment or a special look. This weekend, it was great for taking pictures at the tattoo convention, as my SLR camera was prohibited. 

Other than that, I love taking food pictures or close up shots of plants when I just walk by. Instagram seems like a nice tool and something I get to play with. I got an Android phone, so I recon that the offered tools aren't exactly the same yet, but who knows what will come next.

I promise that I won't start posting outfit pictures with it, but I might do some bi-weekly round ups from now on!

Do you have any experience with the tool and what do you think about using those pictures on a blog?

Tattoo convention 2012

I love 50s inspired looks and this years' tattoo convention and rockabilly festival in my home town gave me the perfect excuse to wear my favorite vintage dress. We had a good time at the convention, but weren't allowed to take the camera inside. We therefore decided to shoot this look on our way home in our favorite park.

Balloon life

This weekend was full of exciting events, one of them being the annual balloon festival in my home town. It was so nice that Mr.B. and I decided to spend Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon there. The biggest highlight was probably the glowing balloon show in the evening. We had one of the best spots and were able to spot how they filled the 18 big and small balloons and later let them glow. With some great background music, they performed a little light show and illuminated the cloudless night sky! What an amazing spectacle!
