Do you use the latest, new member or popular photo pages?
Do you follow people your favorite photographers on here follow?
Do you search tags to come across random members?
Or do the topics/threads mainly influence who you follow?
I do a little of all of these, but still feel like I am missing out on some really great photographers. Any other tips to find great people to follow?
I like to follow someone who followed me to help foster the community...I love the edit contests so often follow people that are fab at processing...I sometimes will follow someone who blew me away on popular page or browse and pick ...now there is 365facebook so I get more communication that leads me to new follows there as well...I definetly try to mix it up :)
I usually pick mine from either the popular page or the different discussion threads. It's fun to see all the unique perspectives people show through their photography.
I do a little of everything I think
Browse the Popular Page

Browse and Pick section
Newest Faces
and then I look at those that have left comments for me.

Look at the work of people who comment on my photos and then usually decide to follow them (but am behind in this).
i look anywhere but the popular page for some reason. i try to follow people that have similar photos to mine. if i follow too many great photographers then i feel like i suck. :)
I always try to follow someone who follows me, but I also find that if I follow too many people it starts to cause me to miss a lot of photos in the feed. I usually find them in the discussion area from photo posting and I look at the current month and see if their photos are something I would want to look at again. Also there are people that are following the same people I follow and make comments so I may look at them also.
I comment on the people that I'm following then click on people that commented the same picture as me. It has to be new. Then if I like their photos then I follow. Another way is looking at the PP.
i use all the methods u have mentioned :) .... i often also click through and look at peoples photos if i notice them commenting on the same photos i am (ie they are following the same people as me ) ive discovered some gems this way :)
when i search for new / great photos i go to any randoms favortie list , check out whats on there find a photo that really stands out and check out a few of that persons album . If a person gets more then 3 comments from me they belong in my following file. I could sit here and go through everyones favorites for hours. I miss alot of great shots and this is a great way to find them again.
I like browsing 'by day' and clicking on the thumbnails that catch my eye - 'tis often the case that a good thumbnail leads to a great photo which leads to a great new 365'er to follow!
@brooketallman I also do a combination of those things. but also mingle on the facebook group every now and again. Themes and Competitions are a great way to find fantastic work! :)
