Two Years in Steemit

My journey here reached 2 years milestone.

I am most grateful to all of you that support me and make that journey so enjoyable. BIG THANK YOU,

When I first started I knew nothing about blogging. I was nowhere near good of making photos. But there were always friends helping me out. Reading and learning from the experienced ones made me believe I can create interesting posts. I found new friends with whom to share same interests and to become better in writing and photography. Photography became a hobby.

Well... in the beginning I thought I need good camera to match the photos I saw here and to compete in the contests.. But soon I understood that until the moment I will invest in expensive gear, I can practice with the phone camera. What matters is the person behind the camera, not the means. Learning what are the advantages of my phone camera and with cheap macro lens I became more and more interested in macrophotography. From there I overcame my fear from bugs. It was not exactly fear, ratther than screaming and jumping seeing a bug. Now I will stop and try to photograph the bug and to get as close as possible.

But macro does not mean photos of insects only. By definition it is extreme close-up of very small subjects.

The more I searched these small subjects and objects, the more I became curious what they are. This lead me to read about what I photograph. Flowers and insects along with droplets are my favourite to shoot.

How I wish I have more time for that hobby. Leave me in a garden whole day and I will forget about the time. I will be making zillion photos. And after that playing with the apps to create digital art.

Didgital photography is making our live so easy. Photos are disregarded instantly if they are not good enough. My admiration goes to the old school of photographers who have to develop the films and then to show in public their work. They are true masters.
