Each day up to Christmas Eve last year, I posted a new landscape photos on my Instagram account. They were photos from previous travels around the world, which I had processed anew and differently. The idea was to make a visually coherent expression and evoke a little bit a feeling of how it was to travel—when we actually could.
It was a fun little project, of which this images here was one of the 37 seven photos I ended up posting on Instagram. In hindsight, it was a fun experience, to do and to see how it was received. I certainly got much positive response, even from people I incidentally met on the street. And an increase in numbers of followers Maybe the sheer amount in the end overwhelmed my audience as the comments and response decreased towards the end. But that’s OK. I would definitely do a publishing project like that again.
Maybe something for you to think about if you have an Instagram account?
This post marks a little change in my blog when it comes to showing images that I have first posted on Instagram. Previously, I had a weekly posting on my blog with Last Week’s Instagram, one image picked from the week’s collection. As from now, I will only pick once a month, so that the column becomes Last Month’s Instagram. If you want to see all images I post on Instagram, you may follow me on: www.instagram.com/ottovonmunchow/
In Flow with Otto 
That’s really beautiful.
Thank you.
this looks like a beautiful painting, amazing photo
Thank you for the feedback, Beth.
so beautiful… carrying me into the beauties and dreams…. Thank you, dear Otto. If you can’t visit my photography blog, be sure something happened wrong and I warn my bloggers. If you send a request it would work. Love, nia
I have had some problems visiting your blog, Nia, but now it seems to be working. Thanks, I’ll get over to you soon. 🙂
wow, what an amazing picture, Otto!! it looks like something out of a fairytale!! xoxoxoxoxox
The place (in Honduras) was a little bit like a fairytale. 🙂
At first glance, I thought I was seeing an autumn view of our bald cypress trees in the Texas hill country; the colors are identical. It’s a beautiful photo. I’m going to miss your weekly Instagram reposts here, but I’ll be interested to see what new directions you might have in mind.
Part of the new direction, is simply posting less. Once a week, is my goal now. Interesting that the photo reminds you of Texas, because it’s captured in a subtropical area.
I love the mood of this, Otto
Thank you, Sue.
Beautiful photograph! I visited your Instagram, stunningly gorgeous pics!
I am glad you like the Insta photos. Thank you, Rene.
Very much !
A stunning photograph. Just beautiful, Otto.
Thank for the lovely words.
I enjoyed your series, Otto. I’m glad it was so well received. 🙂
Thanks a lot, Jane.
Your image evokes strong emotions: beauty, nature’s comfort, the seasons, transcendence, and so much more.
And your words are like flowers to my soul. Thank you, Sally.
I love the mistiness and the colours are beautiful, Otto. 🙂 🙂
Thank you, Jo.
Beautiful light. I am always impressed with the quality of instagram photo capabilities. Do you use filters or just the Edit? Lovely work ~
It’s all edit in Lightroom. No filters.
Oh yes, my daughter uses that as well – beautiful .
Gorgeous shot… the colours, the light. Simply beautiful
Thank you, Dale.
Wow!!! It is like a wonder land! Love it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful reflection, Otto.
Thank you, Cornelia.
It’s great if one succeeds touching peoples hearts the way you do:) Thank you very much, Otto, and stay well. Martina
Thanks a lot, Martina.
I would’ve never guessed that this rich autumnal scene was from a subtropical region, and not the northern latitudes. A great storybook feeling of warmth, pleasant stillness and quiet.
Thank you for the feedback, Robert. Much appreciated.
I am not registered on Instagram, also because my photos are certainly not valid, but I really liked your “experiment”, I didn’t always comment, also because I often didn’t know how to comment and write examples “I like it, beautiful” it seemed to me boring.
Congratulations for all your work, for how you explain, for how you offer the possibility to those who can travel with you, to learn new things, and for being there also for a novice photographer who does not learn much, like me.
Ciao, Patrizia
Forgive my English, I used a translator
Don’t worry, it’s more than good enough. 🙂
Thank you for the lovely words, Patrizia. Heartwarming and much appreciated.
This is nodoubt beautiful. What did you find there?
I found beautiful nature and people. 🙂
Thank you, Otto. May each of us find this. Things might get better.🙂
I would love to spend some time in that gorgeous tranquility, Otto. You’ve captured the peacefulness beautifully!
I am glad you like it. Thank you, Debra.
Love that warm light, Otto! Even winter has some colors that say life is still happening.
I have to admit that this has not been captured lately, but rather in a subtropical area. Nevertheless, I agree with you, there are plenty of colours in the winter. 🙂
Otto, I love the warmth exuding from this photo. Nature always feels me with joy, I had another look at your Instagram account and realised I have missed many of your posts. You have been busy 🙂 Happy New Year!!
Yes, I did post a lot in December. Happy New Year to you, too, Gilda.
There is something very magical about this photo. It’s like it is all golden honey.
It does actually, doesn’t it. Thanks for the comment, Michelle.
Love the warm feeling in this image Otto! Sadly, I am not on Instagram. I know a lot of people are but I find my blog, my website, my store site and Facebook are about all I can handle! I will look forward to your monthly picks.
It’s not possible to be active on all platforms, so I certainly understand the need to limit oneself. Thank for the feedback on the photo, Denise.
Just delightful Otto ..
Thank you, Julie.
