Upvoted and followed. I don't resteem because I mute everyone on my feed who resteem too much. If people follow me, they see my work, not every contest that I enter. If that disqualifies me, I guess I'll just have to live with it.
Really solid pic there! Dropped a follow - I agree Mobile photography is very under rated :) :) My mobile is all i have have most of the time - tbh I'm trying to save up for a nice shiny mirrorless.
My goal is to buy a camera as my first purchase using earnings from Steem. So far it's looking very possible.
I'm checking your stuff out as well. Thanks for the follow!
ahaha yep, got my eyes on a Sony Alpha a6500 ;) but still a bit of a way to go yet lol - Though saving a few of my best posts for when I have a bit more of a following ;)!! Honestly though still need to learn alot, at the moment, its a case of pointing and shooting.
That's what's so cool about Steemit. It really motivates you to go out and keep trying. It's not like the old days where you have to work for free for years on your photography before you make a cent off it.
I've always wanted to write, but have been too lazy and scared to really try it. Now I can't wait to try to write posts. I'm learning, and hopefully improving, and I'm earning money while I do it.
I think Steemit is helping a lot of creative people pursue their talents.
I will consider on that.
Thanks for the consideration, and especially for this contest.
There doesn't seem to be much support for mobile photographers. I think I've got some OK photos, but a lot of the people in #photography won't even look at a photo unless it comes from a thousand dollar camera. So thank you for this contest.
The no-resteem thing is just me trying to keep my profile page clean. I've resteemed a couple of contests in the past and I really dislike that they show up on my profile. I only want my posts on my profile page.
I am a photographer, but I love using my phone to take photos on the go. Unless I'm on a trip, I'm not gonna carry my big ass camera with me, it's just too much. Even when I'm on a trip, I still take a lot of photos with my phone. So keep it going!
I don't think people can tell if a photo is from a dslr or a phone from just a preview pic. Especially when a lotta smartphones' photo quality is really catching up. If you check my posts, you'll find that quite some of them are taken with a phone and it's really hard to tell that it's not from a pro camera.
I've always like this saying "Your equipments don't determin the quality of your photos". Also, people who have pro cameras don't necessarily take good photos. It's you and your eyes that matter, not the machine. :)
I know exactly about not wanting to always bring the camera out. I could have bought and carried an expensive camera on my 2-year trip, but it was just too much to carry and protect.
I also know myself. I know that if I can't fit it in my pocket, I probably won't bring it with me when I go drinking or adventuring. But now that I'm a little older, and not living in hotels, I think it's about time to buy myself a real camera.
The times where I would bring my proper camera is when I'm travelling. I just use the strap and carry it on my shoulder. But I guess I'm so used to that. If I'm going on an adventure, I'll definitely bring my proper camera. As good as phone camera can be today, it's still limited in a lot of situations.
Don't get me wrong. I love using my phone, but I love my camera as well haha.
I can't wait until I have a camera that I can love too :)
Soon...
Best wishes towards that! If you need help picking out a camera, hit me up! Btw I just followed you, love your photos! The street art one is awesome! If you like check out my work as well and let me know what you think of them :)
I really think mobile photographers don't get much attention. Your are very much right.
