Background
I started posting an-image-a-day on Instagram since 30th May 2017. The exceptions have been Sundays (2 images every Sunday), some special occasions (e.g. Friendship Day, World Photography Day, etc.) and a couple of Plotagraphs and videos.
I had bunched these images together as city/attraction series. I also took pains to craft out succinct descriptions for each posted image.
Since a lot of effort had gone into creating these series, I have decided to post the round-up of these series on my website too. Hopefully, these roundups will be well-received by my travel-loving readers.
This Instagram Roundup is the first such roundup.
New York City (NYC) Instagram RoundUp
The first series I ran was about New York City. It comprised 26 images and the series ran from 30th May to 17th June 2017. The images ranged from the Oculus to NYC skyline to American Museum of Natural History…
This series received 2285 likes and 187 comments. It also gained me, 49 followers.
In case you are curious how all these images were shot in just 4 days, you may go through my recommendation – A First Timer’s Photography Guide to New York City.
Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
