A Formatted Sunset
This sunset was captured a few years ago on a Canon 40D I no longer use. I have posted some of these images before but I wanted to play around with some formatting options like side by side images to see how it looks here and on a phone.
My wife was taking pictures too. I am sure that her iPhone 4 captured some amazing pictures ;) Okay, they weren't actually so bad considering and good enough for Facebook.
The side by side labels which I have used:
<div class="pull-left">IMG LINK</div>
and
<div class="pull-right">IMG LINK</div>
I originally got these from @krnel's formatting post but hadn't used them like this before. I met @nelyp in chat too and she has this more comprehensive guide many may find useful if they speak Spanish (I do not) or use a translator.
The only way I was able to separate the top side by sides from the bottom was to insert a line break --- which is not really ideal in my opinion. It seems that anything that comes after (image, text) will start hard up under the side by side images, which I do not like the look of. If anyone knows how to separate so that there is white space between all images, comment below.
Before
After
The images directly above are the before and after editing. They were shot in RAW which flattens colour quite a bit and I apparently have one leg short than the other as I seem to take crooked photos. With editing, I generally aim to create the image as I saw it as I am not a big fan of over editing and how so many images are over saturated colours. Many are these days though, perhaps it is because so many use phones and Instagram filters.
I haven't posted too much in photography lately but I do have a relatively large collection. Of course, almost all the images I use in my posts are my own too as I think that even though they may not be perfect for an article, they are more personalised pieces.
This last image is many shots hand held and hand stitched together in Photoshop. This was one of the best sunsets I have ever seen and because of the long summer days in Finland, it lasted for about an hour and I am glad I had my camera in the car with me to get it.
I am hoping with future iterations of Steemit, there are many more formatting options (and easier ways) as I think that when people have a few more possibilities, they will be able to make some much more visually appealing posts. Formatting and layout can make a very big difference to the way people read and absorb information and can be the difference between engaging or losing a reader. It would be great to have some drag and drop options with a little more flexibility in the design. Early days of course.

Oh @tarazkp I've just seen this, thank you for the mention :)
The only way I found to separate images is adding
<br><br><br>Yes, this is what I have done :)
As pretty and pro as they make the post look, I really hate using the bootstrap pulls for how hacky you have to get with them (especially as it seems to just clash with a lot of the markdown stuff, which means you are then better off writing the whole post in html).
I've been at a stage where I want to write a front end that will do a pile of stuff I want it to do and include CKEditor for maybe a month or so now BUT I need someone else to do the back end because I am so not confident with the security side of things!
The photos and wife look really good. Love that ending pano shot :)
One of my brothers used a lot of html but for some reason it wouldn't allow edits without ruining it all.
I reckon that if you wrote a decent front end, it would be pretty easy to find someone for the back. Perhaps through Utopian?
Well, that's really annoying. But it seems to be one of the drawbacks of allowing mixed formats. One of my websites once had a wysiwyg editor (to some value of wysiwyg back then XD) and also allowed all the oldschool forum people to use their precious bbcode. Got to a point during an upgrade where I basically removed the ability to bbcode because it was messing up a lot of things.
Possibly? I find it a bit hard to believe there aren't more people working on more front ends, perhaps there are and we just don't know about it yet? :) I haven't trawled through the Utopian posts to see what's being done so far.
There is a small chance if I write it up properly for Utopian someone else might do it, I'm kind of trying to get away from webdev XD Though it is one of those things that I'll do if I absolutely have to (aka get annoyed enough and one still hasn't been done).
Good lord these are awesome!!!
Beaaautiful!
Wow ... The view of the sunset is very beautiful. Deposits that always look beautiful until whenever. I am very confident that you are a great photographer.
