| | | Posted by relux In my region, very little good explores get posted on IG. It's mostly the same spots by different people. You can actually watch the cycle. One dude will takes the credit, act like Mr. Cool, then shows others the spot to show they are Mr. Cool and then you will see all the Mr. Cool followers then post the same photos. They will sometimes post little poems and sayings like "The world in my hands" or "It's views like this you wish you had", "just another day out in the world" etc. You can see their egos grow over time until it comes to the point where they consider everyone their "fans". It's all a bit ridiculous and sad, really. I've met explorers from a ton of different places and nowhere do the people compare to those i've met on IG. In my experience, IG explorers (at least in my region) are some of the most unskilled explorers i've ever met. They really have no clue. It's actually pretty damn funny watching these kids act like they know it all and mocking others. The joke is on them. No one here really cares about IGers, they arnt even considered explorers in most cases. They are just kids with cameras trying to look cool. Now and then you run across a cool explorer here on IG, but not very often. It is what it is.
| THAT is msp elites answer at its finest. the rest of the country for the most part enjoys exploring and encourages it. places around here have been done a few times over, places outside of here have also been done a few times over. its very rare that a virgin spot is found. but it happens. as for ig, well, is that the new flikr? who cares, get out there and explore.

| | | Guys, it's just 21st century, when new mobile phone technologies and social sites on internet are getting more and more accessible for everyone whoever knows how to push buttons. In 2008 i could only imagine to see my explorer friend images which are taken seconds, minutes or hours ago on my mobile phone. Textual content of messages took more space than visual. In most cases, i had to read descriptions of a place and imagine how it looks like, piece by piece.... Instagram users are able to choose privacy settings - i don't see any difference between Facebook wall pictures, "instagram" is just one out of 100 social networks/tools, where you can post stuff directly from your phone. Do not speak of instagram users as "attention whores". They just choose one of the SIMPLEST ways how to post images on-line, saving their time on handling digital cameras, another photo-sharing networks (for example, devianart.com). The only instagram user i know is my sister. Even if she can access more than 2 digital cameras, she still uses mobile photography because her intentions are to share her viewpoint ASAP with her friends without losing time on uploading images from SD cards and so on. Time is precious.
