How I Edit My Instagram Photos'

Hey Guys!!

Like most people, I love Instagram and love sharing a little part of my day with everyone. I used to just post whenever I wanted to but now have more of a theme going on. Every other day I post a picture of an object and then on the other days I post a 'selfie'. I love my theme as it's consistent and when you look at my feed it flows really nicely now.

So today I thought I would share with you how I edit my photos'. I do the same on every photo and also I don't edit them before I put them on Instagram as my phone camera is so good now. 

The first thing I do is the Brightness and I put this up to 30.

Then I go onto the Warmth and also put this up to 30.

I then go into the Colours section and for shadows I use blue (as you can see below) at 30, then the highlights I use a lighter blue at 20.

Then I move along the line to Highlights and put that on 30 to.

I then do Shadows next and put that to 30.

To finish off the editing I then Sharpen up the image and again I put it to 30.

Here you can see the difference between the original (top) and the photo I then put on Instagram (bottom)

And that is basically all I do. I don't always add Brightness and Highlights as sometimes the picture comes out pretty good and doesn't need a lot of editing. I think with the blue tones it looks a lot cooler and does give my feed a nice, cool theme.

DIY: Polaroid Display

Hey Guys!!

I was trying to think of a post to write for this week and thought why not share with you how I have decided to display my Polaroids. Then I thought why not turn it into a DIY/How To as some of you lovely readers might want some ideas of what to do with your polaroids.

I have an Instax Mini 8 and when there's occasions or holidays I have been getting patterned films to display as I have an album for my normal films. I spent ages trying to figure out how to display them and came up with this idea.

All you need for this is:

String

Little Pegs

Hooks (that won't ruin your wall)

The first thing I did was lay out my pictures to see what order I wanted to put them in and also to see how long I would need to cut the string.

Once I knew how long to cut the string I stuck the hooks to the wall and tied each end of the string to the hooks. I then did another line of string underneath this one.

I then got my glittery silver pegs and pegged up all the pictures, the string did sink a little as they are heavier than the string of course.

This is the finished display, so far, I am going to add another 3 lines of string above it and possibly going to add fairy lights around them as a frame, maybe. I am also going to add photo's in between these so there will be 10 pictures on each line, but then knowing me I will probably leave it like that.

How do you display your polaroids?

Hope you enjoyed this post!!

See You Soon!!
