Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPwindy

Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post announcing the weekend’s project every Friday.

The goal this weekend is to capture creative photos and videos of something invisible — the wind. Some tips to get you started:

  • We see wind only by its effects. From the way a light breeze ripples curtains or a strong wind bends tree branches, keep an eye out for wind’s telltale marks.
  • No wind? No problem. Seek out a fan to create some wind of your own and — since you’re in control — stage a scene.
  • If you’re filming a video, wind can also create a lot of harsh sound. Try to find ways to shield the phone’s microphone from direct wind while you shoot, but you can always remove the audio entirely before you post.

PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPwindy hashtag only to photos and videos taken this weekend and only submit your own photographs and videos to the project. If you include music in your video submissions, please only use music to which you own the rights. Any tagged image or video taken this weekend is eligible to be featured Monday morning.
