First off, welcome to Hive and to the Photography Lovers Community. Thanks for sharing your awesome photography. It was interesting to read about your trial and error with the settings. I think you got it figured out well. You did get some wonderful shots.
I have made two posts that help explain Hive and how it all works in an overview. I describe some of the functions and etiquette for the platform. When you get some time give these a read and you can check out the comment sections for more answered questions. Feel free to reach out if you need any help.
Getting an introduction post will definitely be helpful in accelerating your start. When you are ready use #introducemyself and #introduceyourself tags. I talk about it in the posts a little with some of my other tips to get a great start. Just click on the blue links below.
I wish you all the best and i think you are going to do quite well here based on these shots. Cheers!
Thank you a lot, I will for sure check these out before I make my next post!
Let me know if you need any clarification and i do hope that they help you out! =)
