Playing with filters

I love taking photographs! I do not own an expensive camera but I love editing pictures to make them look better. With the popularity of Instagram (for Iphone and Android users) and Molome (for BB users) filters have become very mainstream especially vintage or retro styled filters. Haven’t you noticed the Irony of it? We buy cameras to have a better and clearer quality of pictures but now, we add filters specifically vintage style to make them look old and sappy. =))

So, I was trying different kinds of Filter on an online photo editing site. Here are some of them:

First is the original picture

Now the filters:

Jennifer

William

Which one is your favorite? Mine’s the Polaroid Film. I noticed that most of the filters were named after a person. Can somebody please tell me why?
