The Instagram


For the past couple weeks I stopped posting work to my Christy Hunter Photography Facebook Fan Page.  I found it became quite pointless when Facebook limits how many fans can actually see my photos.  There are about 1,000 wonderful fans on there and Facebook seems to pick favorites without my choosing.  My website is always open 24/7 at www.christyhunterphotography.com.

I have had an Instragram account for a while.  What I have found that Instagram does not limit my followers to what they can see.  I have around 200 followers and most photos generate 20 or more likes.  With Facebook I would be lucky to get 5 likes from almost 1000 followers.  Also both Instagram and Facebook allow tagging, but tagging on Facebook doesn't display everything in a group like it does on Instagram and Facebook doesn't allow tagged posts to appear if they aren't recent posts.  The only negative I see of Instagram is the format.  Pictures are small and have to be square unless you put a border around them.  There are limits, but I have found Instgram to be a better way to share my work.
