Howdy again trudeehunter! first of all I'm glad you said that about the votes and your kind words mean alot also! My voting power is down to 40% so I need to take a day or two to recharge, that's going to be tough because I vote all day long. lol. But I want to set up some auto voting, do you do that? I miss people sometimes or forget to get to them because I'm trying to follow too many so autovoting makes sense.
As far as Montville..well shoot, all of Australia seems to be a photographer's paradise! lol. So I'm looking forward to any and all photos from you.
I meant every word @janton I know some people get very peeved when others leave a comment without voting but that is never been a requirement for me. If someone takes the time to read my post and leaves a positive comment, then I take that as a compliment.
I haven't got on the autovote bandwagon and I'm not sure if that is the best decision but I enjoy having control of my voting as I don't like to limit when and to whom I want to encourage with a decent vote.
Australia has so much to offer for keen photographers but not all areas are picturesque or appealing. Just like anywhere, we have plenty of neglected or undesirable areas but I'm not inclined to take photos of them.
Howdy trudeehunter! Well, I know what you mean about the voting issue, that's why I haven't switched to autovoting yet but I'm losing alot of curation by not doing that. Plus, if I get on autovoting then I don't have to worry about missing anyone.
I'm following so many accounts that sometimes I forget about one or two for several days and miss voting for posts. In other words at my level, 16+ hours a day, 7 days a week or whatever, I'm working hard but not smart.
In fact, just last night I had a businessman look at my account and tell me what a disaster it was! lol. Because my curation was pitiful. But the only way for me to correct that is to get on autovoting. But I like the personal touch and manual voting, automated is too impersonal but I need to adapt it to at least some accounts that I have trouble getting to consistently.
