Of course, it is enough to see a gorgeous sunset or fascinating monument with your own two eyes but it is also a nice memento of your trip to snap a few photos while you are there experiencing that moment. It’s a great way to wow your friends too, even if we are past the days of inviting everyone over for coffee and a slideshow of your latest vacation. There are many valuable tools online to help you curate a collection of your best vacation photos. Here are a few that we like.
This well-known app is a natural place to start our list; a social media site for sharing photos that document your day. The Globetrotting Mama Instagram account is full of pictures from our latest adventures and Instagram stories (that round bubble at the top) allows you to follow along in real time. Stickers, filters and options for writing on your photos are there to use but you can also keep it simple and just click/share.
Instagram Photo Filters
Instagram comes with a few of its own photo filters but if you want to get even more artistic, there are additional apps you can download and/or purchase. Here are a few to try.
PicsArt Color Paint – Doodle on a selfie or paint a section of the photo with this app that allows you to change the colour and content of an Instagram post.
