1. How did you author (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?

I captured the picture using the 12 megapixell rear camera of my Galaxy Note 8:

• The camera’s aperture was F1.7.
• The camera’s focal length was 4.30mm.
• The white balance was automatic.
• The ISO was 40
• The exposure time for the photo to be taken: 1/156s

As for the picture, the resolution is 4032×3024 and no flash was used. It took one attempt to get it right. I had to put quite a distance to capture the whole image. I didn’t tilt or angel my camera in any way. I took the photo upright in a standing position. Furthermore, I haven’t done any exterior editing with other applications.

2. How did you publish (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?

Upon publishing, I made use of Instagram’s square grid to crop the ‘tips’ of the image and zoom in proportionately. I, also, used Instagram’s filter, location, and caption. I made use of the hashtags for better distribution.

3. How did you distribute (the photo or video) you published on Instagram to other
social media services?

With Instagram’s linking affordance, I linked my account to Facebook and Twitter. Aside from hashtags, my image was immediately distributed and published in these accounts.
