Photographers love Google+. Why?
I’ve noticed that photographers love Google+. Why?
In addition to being easier than Facebook, Google+ has several features that are better for collaboration and creation.
Share circles
Many photographers create and share entire lists of photographers, making it easier to discover new photographers. Here’s an example: Circle of Inspiration by Colby Brown.
Hangouts vs Facebook video chat
Hangouts are easy to set up. You can also do a lot of cool things, like look at a Google Doc or YouTube video together. In Hangouts with extras you can doodle, share your screen, or add someone to the hangout via telephone.
Uploading photos
On Google+, you upload photos by simply clicking and dragging. On Facebook, it’s another big, multi-step process.
Want to upload multiple photos? Don’t click “Upload Photo / Video,” because that only lets you upload one. You need to click “Create Photo Album”.
Better tagging
I feel like I’m back in the 90’s when I’m tagging somebody on Facebook.
- Google+ can automatically find photos that have you in them and suggest that you tag them
- Google+ tags are resizable. This makes a huge difference in group photos, where a Facebook tag can fit 5 people under one box.
Instant upload
Google+ instant upload automatically uploads photos & videos that you take on your phone. You have a backup of your mobile photos, and they’re easier to share.
When you use Google+ on your computer, there’s an option to “share recent photos from your phone”. You don’t have to wait for them to upload, they’re already online & ready to go.
