I also only use my phone too. I don't have the time to take professional shots on a camera (don't even have a camera now
) and then transfer onto this app. Waay too time consuming, as if it's not time consuming enough already with all the photos to look at!
I don't get those who use their DLSRs either! Kind of silly...they're just trying so hard, it's kind of lame
Unless, I guess they're trying to sell stuff - but then, maybe that's what Etsy is for?
When I first started using I.G, I read about hashtagging. Many articles suggested having 10-15 hashtags, but then I stopped caring and hashtag whatever comes to mind. The more the merrier!
Usually, I get sucked into looking at ppl's photos for a long time after I post my photo and then I click on the tags I've used and see what others have posted. On the top, there's also related tags and then you can keep looking at more and more - so I think that's where the random likings come from.
