I had a photo idea. I asked my friend to take a photo of me against a concrete wall. Well, I was asking for the impossible. It was almost dark out and very cold too. Not that the cold had anything to do with it, but it was a motivating factor to get the heck indoors where there’s some heat. 
Needless to say, the original image was something 99.9% of the population would have deleted. Not me.
The final image above was created using 3 different photo apps and a painting app. Sometimes I do so much editing, I could never recreate this stuff if I tried. Here’s the bottom line:
If you don’t want your photos looking like everyone else’s, use 2 or 3 apps and run your image through them at least 3 times.
This will ensure your original look. Then if you want to post on Instagram, go for it! I guarantee nobody will have anything like the image above. The edited one… we all have some crappy low-light photos. ;)
