2018-04-10 Instagram or Pinterest?

What's your favourite platform for sharing your photos and pictures?  

I enjoy using Instagram for my behind the scenes glimpses and some of my favourite photographs.  

It is fast, easy, allows a decent number of tags / cross-posting and lets me keep the photos and videos for a shoot in the same post.  It also gets me some decent feedback. 

The only downside to Instagram is the aspect ratio limitations - having to give banners and panoramas a border just to enable you to upload can be a bit of a chore.

Pinterest Boards are great for themed collections and allow all sorts of aspect ratios, but the social interaction is much more limited.  

On the plus side, pins on Pinterest can point directly at the original photos on your other platforms, making it great for pointing interested parties in the direction of your other work.

So which do you prefer?
