I would like to start a new thread where I can share the best pictures curated from Instagram every week.
But why, I hear you ask. Let me explain. So I run a page on Instagram, which shall not be named since it was brought to my attention that doing so is against the forum rules, and every Sunday I curate 30 of the best pics published across Instagram covering the Indian supercar scene. It is limited to 30 because of my constraints, partly, and those of Instagram carousel. (Works out perfectly since the forum has a limit of 30 pictures per post as well.)
It is no easy task and a lot of effort and time goes into it. So since I put in all this work, I thought it would be a great idea to share the amazing work here as well.
A couple of other concerns I would like to address:
1. Why a new thread? Why not one of the many dedicated ones that already exist since years?
Well, like I said, curating this content is quite a task and then finding the dedicated threads and making multiple posts will become way too hectic for me to do it. So I propose one thread where I can share it all with clear labels as to which car it is, which city it was clicked in and by whom.
2. Why can’t the content creators post it themselves in the dedicated threads? If they are not members, why can’t they apply for it?
Majority of these content creators are not members of the forum. And it is not for lack of trying. We all know first-hand how hard it is to get accepted and it is even more so for some really talented people who aren’t as handy with words as they are with cameras. And the ones who are equally good with both have either tried, failed and given up or haven’t tried just hearing how hard it is to get into.
Trust me, there is some amazing content and creators out there who would love to have their work showcased on our prestigious platform and we, as a community, are missing out on hosting and discussing such content.
Maybe this will open a conversation eventually about how to get them more involved directly, but until then I would like to know if the Moderators and fellow BHP-ians think I should go ahead with this thread.
Will start off with the pictures I curated today, of the week gone by, so you get a better idea of what I propose and how it will look like.
As always, I am open to suggestions and criticism.
Peace
Week of November 8 to 14, 2020.
