In the recent past, we used to worry that our photos would get out and we protected their privacy. Now, with the advent of social media platforms and the rise in popularity of Instagram filters, we\u2019re actually embracing that fear far more often than not.<\/p>\n

5 Mobile Applications Making Lens Filters Better<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While some of these apps are add-ons and some are completely separate from the photographers\u2019 social media platform of choice, they are nonetheless great additions to the family.<\/p>\n

Afterlight:<\/strong> With 59 adjustable filters, 66 textures, and 128 frames, this is the most versatile app on the market. You\u2019ll spend hours applying different filters before sharing to Instagram and you\u2019ll wonder how you ever lived before using this app.<\/p>\n

VSCO Cam:<\/strong> If you\u2019re serious about mobile photography you should definitely try this out. You can even purchase themed filter packages to maximize the options available to you. It seems that this is the app most professionals prefer.<\/p>\n

Whitagram:<\/strong> The stickler\u2019s app of choice when it comes to sharing photos as they were meant to be. This app allows you to add a white letterboxed border to all your images for that classic retro look.<\/p>\n

Lumify:<\/strong> An easy-to-use and free video-editing app for those interested in filming from their phones. Whenever you upload a clip to Instagram via the app, you can sync music from your iTunes library.<\/p>\n

Hyperlapse:<\/strong> A standalone app released by Instagram and designed specifically for anyone wanting to experiment with time lapse photography. Clips are limited to 15 seconds however, but you\u2019ll find a surprising amount of uses for it.<\/p>\n
