Instagram | Samsung Galaxy S II

I have had my Samsung Galaxy S II Android phone for over 12 months now. When I bought the phone, I mentioned that having a phone with a reasonable camera in my pocket would provide me with the opportunity to take photos in situations where I previously did not have a camera with me.

In hindsight, I haven't used my phone for photography much at all. I want to use my phone for day-to-day photography, and to make it easier for me to take photos and share them, I have installed the Instagram app for Android.

The sunset photo above is an example of something I wouldn't have been able to capture without my phone. I was walking around the block in the evening with my wife, and didn't have my DSLR camera with me, but I always have my phone in my pocket.

You can view my Instagram photos online by visiting my Instagram profile page or if you are an Instagram user, feel free to follow me.
I will also occasionally repost some of my Instagram photos here on my blog.

Instagram's new terms of service (16 January 2012) are a bit worrying: "You agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you."

@Richard: Instagram have now back-pedalled after a big backlash of negativity, and will be modifying their terms and conditions.

However, in many cases, it is too late, as I know of numerous people that have already deleted their Instagram accounts.
