The way I have been creating content on Steemit the past few weeks:
- Go through my photo archives
- Select one or a few photos that together make up a story
- Edit the photos in Lightroom
- Upload and write the story
This has been done on an almost daily basis and has helped me to go through the many pictures I took while in Scotland for a whole month. Creating content for Steemit has helped me to edit pictures consistently and with a 'goal' in mind: to entertain my Steemit followers :-)
My photo archives are split into daily folders - it often happens I edited the selected pictures in one of those folders, posted a story or picture, and go on to the next folder. But sometimes I already want to start editing pictures of the next day when my eye suddenly notices a picture I ignored before.
Today is one of those days.
Pretty imperfect
This picture was very much underexposed in order to not overblow the highlights in the sky. So much so the thumbnail didn't show me anything interesting to work with. But then I remembered this day was full of rain and sun and rain and sun alternations - which often makes for pretty interesting skies and thus pictures.
The picture has been taken through the glass window of our car. It's pretty imperfect. I very much love it now I've seen it come alive.

what an amazing shot you have taken. such a breath taking scene. it enlighten my mood everytime i see such post. good posting
Thank you :-) Glad to add something positive to your mood today :-)
the pleasure is all mine :)
I take way too many pictures of the sky, but I love looking at them! The natural world creates so many beautiful things, and it is always exciting when you can capture the beauty of those moments on camera. This is a lovely picture, and I'm glad you went back to it and shared it with us.
There is so much beauty to be found in nature! It's really exciting to be able to look at 'the mundane' and create some form of art from it :-) Thanks for commenting @tessaragabrielle! :-)
Oh awesome photo! You remind me of myself. I've been creating content the same way!!!! I've also learned to NEVER erase photos. I some times get back at something I thought didn't work and now I love. I do have to organise my folders, I'm a total mess.
P.S: I some times do double exposures and them put them together in photoshop. Works to get the sky exposed right and also everything else. But it still worked out for you. The photo came out really nice.
Thanks @gabyoraa! Ohhh yes, the deleting of pictures! Sometimes I think I need to do it in order to keep my archives 'clean', but then indeed: sometimes shots get better when you grow older and look back at your own work! Haha!
Yes, double exposures work great! Thanks! :-)
Ooooh, that's lovely!
Thanks @didic! :-)
You can forget about Pixabay and copyrights, original photos rock!
YES they do! <3 Thanks!
Wow! Amazing that’s why I choose to appreciate nature all the way!
Thank you! Nature is important for all of us, let's not take it for granted :-)
what a great class of photography.... outstanding
Thanks! :-)
It looks ethereal.
Awesome shot. 😉
LOL. You're awesome ;-)
Isn't it funny that some thing that we previously overlooked can be things that bring us such joy? I don't know how much work went into the editing process, but your work payed off. It looks great.
Very true @themanwithnoname! I realized I'm often looking for a certain kind of picture while editing, but the surprizes turn out even better :-)
i struggle with my folder organisation, and sometimes is hard to find something :)
one of those examples that you should never delete a photo in camera, and you should always go through the discarded photos at least once.
Ah, yes, I think that's something all photographer recognize! It's hard to keep up with your photo archives, especially once the years of taking pictures start to add up. I used to have only the date as a folder name but now I add one or two keywords, like at least the name of the city I took the pictures.
Thanks for commenting :-)
when in that you add people, events and few HDD-s it creates a mess :D
Yes, unfortunately it does :P I have yet to find the perfect solution! :D
