I am no professional photographer, but lately I have enjoyed taking photos using a Nikon D 3100 which was given to me by a friend when he upgraded his camera.

The camera was left unused for ages as it all just got too overwhelming and my iphone 6S was more convenient.

However after scrolling though Instagram and looking at all the fabulous photos other mums took, I bit the bullet and pulled put the camera.

Its taken me months to learn the functions like apperature and shutter speed but I'm finally getting the hang of it!

I've found that even if you have a good expensive camera and lens, it doesn't automatically make your photos stunning!

I bet you are thinking: 'But it looks beautiful'.

Yes thats because I have used an App! Tadaaaa! Thats the secret! Sometimes photos just need that extra enhancement!

Here is the original unedited photo..

While the original is still beautiful, I think a bit of editing gives it that extra zing! Don't you?!

Heres another before and after..

Amazing hey! All from the touch an App on my iPhone!

If you are still reading, it must mean you would like to know which apps I use hey? Well yes of course I will tell you my Steemian friends!

I use Lightroom on my iPhone. I also use the Photoshop apps to fix and blur things here and there! Like using the camera, I played around quite a bit with the apps too! My favourite function is the 'dehaze'!

So there you have it! Let me know what you think or if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for reading!
