I don't see anything wrong with it. I love Instagram but I don't expect it to be art, and I only follow friends and expect people I know to follow me. What I don't understand is commoditizing internet friends.

'Spose we'll have to agree to disagree. I'd much rather look at pictures of my friends climbing trees and doing stupid shit than see a plethora of random people doing the same trick.

I don't follow anything even remotely ski-related on instagram.

When companies post photos of their athletes for a promo (skiing insta's specifically), it seems somewhat belittling to the photog.. taking all that time to create the shots; to be posted on instagram. Sure, it's some exposure, but even without a filter, it's still this picture you're going to see for what, maybe 15 seconds AT THE MOST. social media get freaky. but yeah.  instagram

on NS, you are specifically going to look at skiing content. Magazines/Print, different story because of the investment in materials and effort in shipping and putting the publications out for sale. People specifically pick those up and spend the few dollars to look at the content. Instagram is the advertising sell-out, a free square to fill up someone's 2-minute glance through of their instagram feed. Similar to facebook but on an even shorter attention span scale. So, it's free marketing which is great, and I'm not opposed to seeing a few pics of skiers while browsing instagram. It's just.. why take a hi-res pic and go through so much effort post it to fb/insta? kind of disheartening

for a photographer, getting just a hashtag credit (if that) on an instagram post isn't quite as rewarding as a mag cover.

most of the time there is no credit, no payment, for a photo that because it was published to instagram cannot be used for other purposes later on (companies/magazines like exclusive and unreleased content)

Let me put it this way, if you go to a professional's website, do they have a "Published to Instagram" gallery?

It's just a minor devaluation of the person's efforts. Would you rather see your work on Freeskier.com or Freeskier's instagram? and same goes for Online to Mag.

Just saying that overall, they're zeroing in on the age of short attention spans, utilizing free marketing, and are leaving photogs in their wake.

this is key, you aren't currently one looking for another client to help you pay the bills ;)

of course people are stoked for their photo getting a lot of attention, but there's a different kind of attention that'd mean a whole lot more to them

One of my biggest pet peeves. I found Facebook has a setting so that you can approve or disprove someone tagging you and it's kept me out of trouble/save me from getting tagged is shitty pics.

Wow, I didn't realize your dislike for instagram until you posted it for the 3rd time in this thread. Thank you so much.

You have an opinion and I respect that, no need to shove it down peoples throats. And since when was calling people fags ok on NS? I've seen you post it several times in the past week. They've made it clear you can't drop the n-bomb on NS, how is fags different? Also, every time someone makes fun of your weight you tell them to be more creative. Why don't you take your own advice and try to get a little more creative yourself?

I don't think you have any room to talk considering the fact that you not only have an NS account, but actually frequent this site.

I think it's safe to assume that eheath isn't hardcore homophobic, and didn't intend to use that term in that way... but still, I agree. It's kind of annoying.

I agree with the whole -adding a shitty filter to a photo doesnt make it good- side of this debate. However, the camera on an iphone is quite sub standard (compared to a DSLR) adding some contrast and messing with the colours can make a substandard photo look actually pleasing. I use instagram because im at university and cannot take the photos i would with a DSLR. I used to be able to control WB, shutter speed, fstop, etc(even picture control) but now i can just add a stupid filter to a picture of a tree and be on with my day. Nobody using instagram is set out to take good pictures. nobody actually cares about the quality of the photo, but what matters is more of the subject in the photo.

Also the whole social media thing, im following famous accounts like redbul and jiberish. its nice to see what they are doing as well as friends.

Most of all its up-to-the-minute photo sharing that everyone is using.
If you cant beat them, join them.
