I will never Insta/Mega

If fact I am changing my posting on this forum and Flickr starting now

I shoot Tiny Format every day of many things, I enjoy fast snaps, I will post them as I see fit

However I will no longer 'share/post' DIGI copies of Large Format, ULF and Mammoth

4X5 and above verboten

3X4 and smaller from any media will be posted

MEGA has invaded our lives, HE makes big $$ we get used.

I don't post large images anywhere online. I know a lot of people who do LF and art photography believe gigantic images to see details in blades of grass or whatever, is best, maybe it is? ...

How has it invaded our lives or and "using me" by posting low Rez images on IG ?

The issue is bigger than image theft, up rez does work

Big money always wins

Corporation are Better People

not really like that, its just sharing photographs, no pundits tell me anything, I don't watch ads or get ads
if someone steals my work, whatever, im sure posting things here has the same amount of "theft". people download
to their hard drive without "asking" what's the difference? pretty much none.

I may fire Flicker as I need to reduce all unnecessary costs

The point is moot as we old people are expendable

How are you going to vet viewers on Flickr ?

Sorry, not trying to give you a hard time but I guess I still don't really understand the issue at hand.

Good for you

How many times have you seen his really cute Mega ad on TV

It's very well done

Why does Elon say Earth will be gone in a decade

Rich Robots

I was offered Ivy League long ago, age 14

I rejected that mindset

Just listened to Alan Watts for the first time

I read his books way back

Flickr is free, but there are ads

Flicker has advantages in their pay system, cut

My income is fixed, with this inflation I need to cut anything possible

except food and art supplies

I never sell Art, well I did sell 4 sculpture and have regretted that for 25 years

I give some away

I make ART for myself, not for $$$, not for fame

Dust to Dust

SOON!

:cool:

I know it's a well made ad but a bit confusing. I catch it between episodes of Divorce Court and Personal Injury Court, and then while I was watch Supreme Justice. I thought it was an ad for shoes. I hope besides Entertainment Studio Classics, they have re-runs of Maury and Jerry Springer Morton Downey Jr. and [I]Baggage[/I ]in MetaVerse too, my avatar is gonna be bored without caffeine and calories. Not sure how it will be able to use a LF camera, from what I understand humans are gonna be like weebles / no arms or legs, and everything is badly animated, resolution might not be good enough for LF and not sure how'd I'd set up the gear. Did Alan Watts give any insights ?

I hope you find a place to host your work.

dude, keep tom out of this. unless he has an instagram feed ;) LOL

Today, Bergger's Instagram account had the audacity to post a pic of a medium format shot in Pancro 400 that was developed in Rodinal (the horror!!!). Of course, I couldn't help but leave a snarky comment.

And anyone else notice that Foma's IG account mysteriously suddenly disappeared recently? I bet they got permabanned for posting boobs. LOL

BIG film is at it again..
Lina Bessonova always posts great stuff too...

I'm looking at grainery.app as an alternative to Instagram now. It appears to be much more geared towards sharing of images that originate solely from film.

Yours was the very first image I saw when I went to check it out. I'd been showing a friend some of your work less than a week ago and mentioned that I'd know your window anywhere. Your photo made a great first impression in grainery.app's favour [emoji16]

I'm possibly a little more darkroom orientated than they're catering to, as I do wish developers, paper and toning were an integral part of the gear selection used. Obviously older/alternative techniques are also of great interest to me.
Having said that, I understand hashtags will be fully searchable, so I'll probably find more darkroom information as their user base and database expands.

Grainery.app looks interesting, I’m going to have to check it out. It seems like a great idea. There seems to be a demand for a photography app that focuses more on the photo (film or digital) and less on the social aspect/algorithm like Instagram.

I'm also on instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kevinpihlajaphoto/

I too shall check out granary.app, I just created a profile there. In the meantime, I'm here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bgharveysyr/

Very late to this discussion but I am at https://www.instagram.com/mark.e.phillips/

Interested to check out the grainery.app too. In the meantime, here's my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aidanaveryphoto

I post only work on film - lots of different formats (120, 35mm, Polaroid, and... now 4x5 too!)

Looking at grainery.app. https://www.instagram.com/mpkutz/

Update: I'm not so sure Grainery is going to be ideal for me: the creator of it has stated that at some point, he plans to open the platform up to allow digital content, at which point it will become irrelevant. I'm reserving judgement for now, though.

The ipernity website doesn't use https (encryption) - I wouldn't trust a website that is so cheap and out of sync with current times.

Thank you!

Mix of LF, MF, and 35mm

I recently joined Instagram mainly to see what a few other photographers I'm interested in are doing. You can see what I've been up to at: https://www.instagram.com/richard_wasserman/?hl=en

Never again

I am but I rarely post my photos... usually just links to my youtube videos, which usually contain a print that I worked on.

I am, mostly large format with some medium format and alt process. Recently I’ve began documenting my adventures with an 11x14 camera.

I’m moderntintype.photo on Instagram.

Well, considering that on Instagram a 1 megapixel camera would be as good as any large format camera, here is my overachievements

great images !

I think it is enlightening that so many great photographs, because in the end it's not really the gear that matters, it's the photographs made. Sadly most photographs aren't making photographic PRINTS, their work is stuck as either a negative never or a digital viewing format and never converted into a physical print. I can see why though, who has the room to convert all their great images into prints.

Yes, I'm on Instagram too! It's a great platform to connect with friends, family, and like-minded individuals. You can also boost your account's visibility by purchasing Instagram followers. For example, SMM-World offers Instagram followers instant delivery, which can help increase your account's reach and engagement. It's a quick and easy way to take your Instagram game to the next level.
