Update from Instagram

Photography

Shots

A tracker and ad free version of rampatra/photography with automations. You can set up Zapier Workflow which will connect to Instagram.

Highlights

  1. Easy setup and you get a site of your own for free.
  2. To add new pictures, you need to just upload them. No code changes required.
  3. This I like the most, you get to see EXIF data like aperture, shutter speed, iso etc when you click on any image automagically.

Quick Start

If you know a tad about tech and love taking pictures then this open-source project may help you setup a website to showcase all your creations without effort. And not just that, with this you need not pay a single dime to host your website as it's hosted by GitHub for free.

Just follow the below steps and your website would be live in no time:

  1. Fork this repo by hitting the Fork button at the top right corner.
  2. Enable github pages from the repo settings.
  3. Upload your pictures to images directory. And a Github Action will add the photos where it needs to be.
  4. Add your own custom domain in CNAME file or just remove the file if you don't own a domain and use the default domain that github provides ([yourusername].github.io/photography).
  5. Update baseurl field in _config.yml file with whatever domain you used in step 4.
  6. And that's it, your website is set. To view, go to deveshsangwan.github.io/shots/ (or whatever you have in the CNAME file) and if you don't have one, you can go to [yourusername].github.io/photography

You can change my name in _config.yml file.

ProTips

  1. Fork and then clone the project to your computer
  2. Go inside the project $ cd shots
  3. Install all dependencies by $ npm install
  4. Copy all your pictures (possibly jpg, the largest size available, straight from your camera) and put it inside images directory
  5. Run $ gulp to resize the images and to generate thumbnails automatically
  6. Push your changes to github.com by $ git add --all and $ git commit -m "a nice commit message" and then finally $ git push origin master
