| 365 Day 4 Challenge Red |
This 365 day challenge is to take 1 photo a day following theme prompts, then posting the photo on Instagram. OK, I can do the photo challenge easy enough; however, the Instagram is where the challenge comes in.

| Instagram's cropped version |
It took me hours to figure out how to get the photo from my computer into Instagram. I guess it would be easier to complete the challenge using my phone, but that's not what I want to do. After reading and researching, I found out that I need to move/copy the photo to Dropbox, then I can upload it into Instagram. Then, another glitch happened; Instagram crops the photo to fit its format, I guess to match phones. I tend to crop close, since I want to get the photos correct in the camera. That doesn't seem to be working out well. Instagram cropped my apples in about 1/3 It still looks OK, but it's not what I intended. So, for the photo challenges at least, I'll have to allow enough room around my subjects to let Instagram crop it their way so I can get the composition I want. This is going to be quite a challenge on its own.
I'm still trying to figure out how to use Instagram, since there really aren't enough choices or menus. I guess the only challenge I really have is technologically. Anyone have any useful hints?
