I told her that I was going to build up my following because everyone starts at 0 and you have to start from the ground up (she laughed). I was casually using Instagram in the latter half of 2012 and ramped up my picture posting in 2013 due to heavy travel patterns. She eventually broke up with me in 2013 because I was too focused on Instagram and other social media apps such as Foursquare and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/jamucsb\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning of 2014, I made a pact to try and post 1 picture every day because I didn&#8217;t want my followers to think I was dead or something. I read online that you should post on Instagram once daily and it really helped. I was giddy whenever I gained a follower whether it was a bot or not.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to July 2014 when I didn&#8217;t have any travel because airfare was too expensive during the summer. Since I knew I would be starved of content for the month of July, I decided to dedicate the entire month to my favorite things to do in my hometown of Los Angeles. After posting pictures of beautiful food, beaches, and sunsets, I soon knew that&#8217;s what my followers loved since those pictures received the most likes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/jamucsb\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15661\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction2.png\" alt=\"instagramaddiction2\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction2.png 640w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction2-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction2-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction2-400x400.png 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction2-200x200.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In September 2014, I made it a goal to get at least 100 natural likes per picture.

This is an example of perfect outdoor lighting.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Whenever I Instagram a picture of my food, my requirement is that the restaurant must have lots of natural lighting. I don&#8217;t just take one picture, but multiple (sometimes even 10 pictures) at all different angles. Once I go through all the pictures I&#8217;ve taken, the next step is to make it looks amazing which means editing the picture on Instagram adjusting the angle, brightness, color, warmth, contrast, and saturation. You don&#8217;t ever want to Instagram a bad photo and no photo is better than a bad photo. This process takes a lot of time and energy and a lot of my friends laugh at me when I do this in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I eat out, the first thing on my mind is &#8220;Which entree is the best looking one for Instagram?&#8221; Sometimes I ask the waiter\/waitress this question and they laugh, so I&#8217;ve resorted to researching the menu beforehand. For restaurant food pictures, I use Foursquare and Yelp which helps out a lot. In addition, I try not to eat out at night because of the no natural lighting aspect. Whenever I&#8217;m dining inside, I often choose to sit next to table with natural lighting. If you try and take iPhone pictures of your food with flash in a dark setting, it will come out horrible 99% of the time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15663\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/xN_sv7p25Y\/\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15663\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-15663\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction4.jpg\" alt=\"instagramaddiction4\" width=\"400\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction4.jpg 610w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction4-150x149.jpg 150w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction4-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction4-400x398.jpg 400w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2014\/12\/instagramaddiction4-200x199.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15663\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of a recent food picture in a dark setting taken with flash.
