Playing around with Instagram filters is the best way to add a personal touch that you like to your photos. In my GET THE LOOK Instagram image above, I used the Amaro filter and the "tear drop" icon (aka the Tilt-Shift focus icon) located up on the upper right corner of the Instagram camera interface.
ADJUSTING THE FOCUS AREA
For the Vespa photo above I used the line effect focus. To do this in Instagram, just tap the tear drop icon at the top of the Instagram camera interface, next select the line effect, then tap or drag/rotate the image to preview how this feature adjusts the in-focus area. I used my fingers to play with the width of the focus and the placement of the the line to make it slightly slant to the right. You can read more about tips on using the Amaro filter here.
