You can view your camera's photos on your smartphone soon after taking them, and push them straight to Instagram from there. It was a great spot to shoot, and I'd have never discovered it if I had not explored the #野鳥 hashtag, which means 'wild bird(s)' in Japanese.įor anyone who has a wifi-enabled DSLR, or one with a wifi adaptor, getting pictures from your DSLR to Instagram shouldn't be much of a problem. It was in this way that I recently discovered the rather unusual Japanese green/yellow pigeons out at Terugasaki beach at Oiso (just over an hour by train from central Tokyo) thanks to a tip from a fellow Instagrammer who had shot there a few weeks before I went. But regardless of where you are or what language you speak, browsing hashtags can always show you new places to shoot, and hopefully even introduce you to some new friends. Of course, using the Japanese hashtag instead of the English #kingfisher tag gives me a sort of geographical filter that shows only photos from Japan, and most of those, from Tokyo. But now that I've surfed the 'kawasemi' hashtag (#カワセミ ), I can see where in Tokyo and Japan other people are shooting, and maybe even go to those places myself. It took me a few years to discover just a couple of kingfisher hotspots here in Western Tokyo. I've been very active on Instagram sharing my bird photos for a few months now, and I thought I'd jot down a few of the things I've learned so far that might be of value to any photographers out there who haven't yet tried Instagram. 'Kawasemi' means 'kingfisher' in Japanese, which is primarily what I shoot these days. So what have I been using Instagram for? I decided to share some of my bird photography on there under the handle.
This convergence in device functions will eventually render my question above irrelevant, if it's not irrelevant already. Heck, there are already some types of cameras out there that can already upload directly to Instagram. But on the other end of the spectrum, DSLRs are getting smarter, and more importantly, more connected. Smartphone cameras are getting better, as we all know. Is it really ok to share DSLR photos on Instagram?Īfter some brief meditation under a tree, I've come to the blissful and comfy conclusion that I do not care. Before doing this, I occasionally wondered: You see, I'm not shooting photos with my mobile device. Like any tool, it's really entirely up to you how you use it.Īnd yet some people 1 would assert that I'm using Instagram completely wrong. I mean it can be those things, of course, but it can also be a really wonderful photo sharing platform. But I recently gave in and opened an account to find that it's actually not the hellhole of kittens and food porn as I suspected.
