Let me be the millionth person to say, I am OBSESSED with Instagram! O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D! I've died and went to photography heaven. Lucky for me, my cell phone has an amazingly huge screen and great camera so I usually prefer to use my cell phone camera over my big fancy one half the time.
I've come across some really AMAZING photographers on IG. Definitely check out some of the people I follow. People from across the country, and some overseas. Some of the prettiest places are lucky enough to have some real talented people.
I know fellow ig lovers in nyc meet up every so often to go on photo walks and then out for drinks afterwards. One day I will jump on the train and do that....sounds super fun, kind of weird, but (in the words of my daughter) YOLO.
My screen name is beckyb2201 http://instagram.com/beckyb2201 I usually stick to my cell phone camera for ig pics, I use a Samsung GalaxyS2. I occasionally will upload a pic I really like that I took from my Canon Rebel XS...yes, one the one they don't make anymore, I think it's about time to upgrade. Very rarely I use my point and shoot, it's a Sony, not sure on the model off hand.
