A Little Girl Created Organic Instagram Filters!

This girl was flying her kite so gracefully, from faraway. The light at the Kite Park was perfect. Backlit and gentle wind lifting strands of her hair. But I needed one more element to frame the subject, make it a balanced visual composition.

Unexpectedly, a little girl next to me started shooting soap bubbles into the air. The telephoto lens (600mm) defocused the nearer floating bubbles into colourful circles. Unwittingly, the toddler created the most beautiful organic Instagram filters ever. Magical!

Paradise

Imagine a paradise where every adult and child is playing with a device that requires no battery and it has no screen. Can that be possible? Yes. It happens only for a few hours every Sunday at the Kite Park. Photographed with the Olympus OM-D, Pana Ultrawide Lens and Olympus Dramatic Tone Art Filter.

Here’s another example of using an Olympus camera’s built-in Dramatic Tone Art Filter to do funky things. When you play back the image on a larger screen back home, you are bound to go Wow!

I originally framed this shot on the Olympus E-PL2 in a 16:9 widescreen format. Due to the tight composition, it is impossible to crop down to a square. Hence the letterbox.
