Der Vorbereitungskurs ist fast abgeschlossen
Mein 9-wöchiger Auslandsaufenthalt steht unmittelbar bevor. Heute und morgen habe ich noch zwei Tage frei, bevor es am kommenden Samstag nach Alicante geht. Meine Spanischkenntnisse sind begrenzt, aber ich denke, dass ich die Sprache – ähnlich wie Englisch – am besten direkt vor Ort lernen werde.

Instagram Diptych
Last night I had the most vivid dream. I dreamt that I drove something that resembled a Las Vegas theme park. All of the lights, sounds and games were there. The differences became quickly apparent. There were families, and happiness; laughter spread throughout the park.
In addition, it seemed that there was a Kodachrome haze that layered over the park. Colors were more vibrant, and it seemed that I had stepped back into the 70s. It was beautiful, and everyone was happy.
This morning, when I was getting ready, I took Rush downstairs to get some breakfast with me. He was quiet, playing in the front room and I got a little suspicious. When I arrived, he was sitting quietly, playing with a nativity toy set near the tree.
I have been using Instagram for a little while, and I have to admit, I am smitten. Many have written on what is great, but I just want to add my two cents. This morning, when I saw Rush, I had my iPhone in my pocket, and my DSLR on the counter right next to me. To shoot the photo, I had a few options.
- Take camera from bag
- Take flash out
- Meter the flash
- Replace 18-135mm with f1.8 50mm
- Try to compose a nice photo
- Take another one with some different flash settings
- Try to wrangle Rush back into the spot
- Sync camera with computer
- iPhoto to Photoshop for editing
- Upload to Flickr
- Upload to Facebook
- Upload to Tumblr
- Tweet off a link
Now, with Instagram
- Pull out phone, and take photo.
- Add a filter
- Blast that photo to Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr, and Twitter (and Instagram too).
The dreamy landscape that I saw in my deep in my sleep, quickly became the photo that I took with my phone. The ability to simply share a photo is something that other apps will do, but the community of Instagram, coupled with the ease of use makes this a winner in my book.
