Thanks Dan. The conditions were far from ideal. It was cold, wet, and dark. I was shooting from under an umbrella, and had to hold a bag as well, but managed to get a few shots.
Well, I did tell you.
I am not that fond of social media, but I have a growing collection of street photographs and hardly anybody sees them. So I thought I'd give it a try. Norwegian winter is coming, so I will be less active on the streets, but I have enough in stock to remain active on IG. Apparently that is what you have to do if you want to be seen....Show more →
IG is a love hate relationship for me. People like to look at videos, less so stills like what you and I do in street photography. The IG algorithm is very slanted towards videos. So it was hard for me to get any traction on what I posted. After over a year of posting, I felt frustrated as I had only had acquired 250 followers and if I was lucky only getting tops 50-60 likes on a photo. So I just quit posting there, until this past week. I went to a lecture recently giving pointers on improving one's success on IG. So I figured I'd try it again.
IG done properly takes a great deal of effort to succeed. And I think it's more appropriate if you're in need of a marketing tool.
