[Closed] Who Instagrams their cycling? Camera or phone?

I post from the phone. camera to phone to instagram seems a little at odds with the "insta" bit.

I hardly ever use the filters, a bit of levels tweaking in the edit bit, to bring out detail in dark spots etc. maybe bam the saturation up a bit, but always to make it look like how it was when I saw it, rather than like something else. If it looks unnatural, then it goes back a step.

on the embeddin front, you can also right click on an image on the desktop, "view page source" and line 72 has the image file url

saw snapspeed being recommended by johnclimber after this event. Android photo editing app. It's good. Much better than the instagram one.

Please work......

Edit: yes😁 and yes, snapseed is great, can do dodging and burning, and stuff like that.

Used to use a GoPro on time lapse then choose one picture for each ride (hence the username). Got some shots that I like that way:

However, transferring from gopro to phone is more faff than I want so I tend just to use my phone instead.

I usually remember to add a few pictures to strava, but forget to put anything on instagram. Don't really use social media much!. I've gone through and followed a few people from the thread though. Just use my old knackered iphone.

I'm like most I edit on my phone, if its going to Insta it doesn't matter too much about the quality.

Learned not to use the Moviemaker filters on a recent one as when insta degrades the quality it ruins the vid.

Jam bo. You nailed it.  If your account is set to private your links don’t work.  Thanks.

I love Instagram, its got its downsides (the relentless sponsored accounts promoting all sorts of tat) but in terms of cycling its a really good way of seeing whats going on out there.

As for mine, its mostly bikes, bit of fitness stuff and the outdoors (walks, rides to work etc), my cat, more bike stuff, cars very occasionally and yes, some pictures of food. Bit like an online diary, sometimes pretty mundane and not as epic as some. However I follow some people posted here and I got to say the quality of photo and comment in the bike world is pretty damn interesting.
