There's Still Time to Join the Instagram Fall Challenge

What do you think of when you think of the word "FALL"? Does it bring to mind autumn and the vibrant colors, a fall from grace, the physical act of falling - or something else? There's still time to tag your Fall mobile photos with the hashtag #aom_fall on Instagram. I'll be selecting images from the hashtag to showcase here on Sunday.

Need some inspiration? Here are a few of my interpretations of the theme.

Announcing Art of Mob Instagram Challenge - Nature

The theme for this week's Instagram challenge is nature. Mobile photographs only - edit in any style. Tag your images #aom_nature. The showcase will be on Sunday, November 30th.

Announcing New Instagram Challenge - Fave 5

What were your favorite five images for 2014? The Instagram challenge theme for this week is Fave 5. Out of all of the images you shot and edited this year what were your favorite five? Tag them to the weekly challenge using #aom_Fave5. I'll post the showcase on Sunday, December 28th. So...hit me with your best shots!

Here are five of my favorites. It's really hard to choose five and I'm sure if I picked them tomorrow I would select five different ones, but each of these I still find pleasing. Often, after I have edited an image I think of dozens of things I would have done differently, with these, I am satisfied. There is one more I really like (The Blue Violin), but I already talked about that one at Mobiography.

The image below was created from several different faces, collaging them together as one.

I like the illustrative nature of this edit (below), especially the folds of the fabric draped over the chair.

San Juan Capistrano Mission

The challenge for the image with the giraffe was creating a realistic looking reflection without using a reflection app.

I'm still amazed that this was captured with an iPhone (5s)!

Fuschia

This is just a fun edit but I like the moment I captured at an airport this fall - the nicknames my husband and I gave them seem to work too.

Wolverine and The Model

Instagram Challenge - Shoot With Contrast by Hornbeck

This week's Instagram Challenge is a bit different - all images must be taken using the contrast by hornbeck app. It is available FREE on the app store, but it is limited to iOS devices only. You can use any other apps to edit the image. Tag on Instagram with #aom_contrastbyhornbeck hashtag for a chance to be featured in the Sunday Showcase on October 26th.

Here are some examples of my contrast by hornbeck shots.

Announcing New Instagram Challenge - White

Much of my country gets covered in wintry white snow this time of year. Living on the west coast in sunny California, I don't see much of that falling but it did give me the idea for this week's challenge. Tag your mobile photos using #aom_white hashtag. The showcase will be posted on Sunday, November 21st.

Announcing New Instagram Challenge - Curves

An appropriate quote for this week's Instagram Challenge - Curves. Please tag your mobile photos only with the hashtag #aom_curves. The showcase will be posted here on Sunday, December 14th. Can't wait to see what you do with this one!
