Instagram Updated With Landscape Mode & More…
Instagram received a minor update yesterday, compared at least to the major update of the Video update recently. This update now adds the very much desired landscape mode and video stabilization feature when using the front facing camera. The landscape support allows for both photos and videos to be shot in landscape mode. The front facing camera stabilization is only available on the IOS version of Instagram at the moment, hopefully this will be coming soon to Android. If you are hankering for front facing video stabilization, Vine have had this feature to their Android app from day 1. Click here to update/download Instagram

One of the first things I did after setting up my new Galaxy was to check out the photo apps available on Android. Of all my friends’ reservations about THE MOVE, this was the one that came up the most. It was a bit like going to a party and looking around the room for familiar faces. Ah Snapseed old chum, good to see you! But there’s something different about you, Snap. Like you’ve got your tie on too tight. Oh right, you downsized on Android. Can you get pills for that? OK, but you’ve got more energy. That’s nice. Other friendly faces in the crowd were Touch Retouch (thank…

Gray’s Anatomy – ‘The one man on Earth who hasn’t heard of Instagram’ – By Richard Gray
It’s happened again, another Friday is upon us, quicker than the last one, or so it seems and if you’re like us, a fan of Richard Gray’s column then this is excellent news, as we publish it, every single Friday. Over to you Richard (foreword by Joanne Carter). "William Eggleston has been described as the world’s greatest photographer. And he has no idea what (or who) Instagram is.

Petapixel (via Huffington Post), have some great behind the scenes images from the photo shoot and we have included them…
