Moeraki Boulders - The dormant eggs of dragons
These strange boulders, up to 1.5m in diameter, on the South East coast of New Zealand evoke wondrous imaginations of dragons and other mythical beings. When will they hatch? What monster will they unleash upon the world?
Do you believe in dragons?

I see lots of long posts on Steemit. Blogs that people seem to have spent a lot of time writing. I won't use the excuse of "a picture speaks a thousand words", but the time and effort spent on photos like these from myself and other photographers is worth the shorter word count isn't it? It's good sometimes to hear a story behind a photo but other times the subject matter is best left to the viewers imagination.
Would you prefer to just look at photos without having to read an essay? Or would you prefer a short story to accompany the images?

Amazing picture, like always! ;-) I like the amout of text that you are posting with your shots, no need to write long stories, your stunning photos are speaking for themselves and always inspire me to try to improve my own skills!
Thanks so much! I'll keep my word count juuuust right 😉😁
Another great shot man! We just resteemed it.
Thanks guys! It's an honour to be among the great photos you share!
Wow, absolutely stunning. I totally agree, the time put into images is well worth the shorter word count. But I post a lot of photos without many words, soooo.... hahaha.
Photos should be able to stand alone and convey a message without words. But a little direction is always helpful ;)
Yeah it's true, most people do like to be pointed in the right direction :)
Beautiful shot man! Those are so funky looking.
I think writing at least a little bit of context about the location makes it more interesting for me, but I also totally get leaving art more open to interpretation.
I guess what makes Steemit successful is that people don't give away their upvotes unless they get something in return. Whether it's a bit of escapism or some useful or interesting information. We just have to try and please everyone!

Beautiful Shot. Are those cracks in the rocks or seaweed? Looks like gold.. super cool image. @kieranstone
Cracks ;) They look golden in the right light.
This is one of the best compositions with Moeraki Boulders I ever saw! Although both stones are on the left it feels balanced.
Thanks so much! That's quite a compliment! I think the small collection on the right and distance helps with the balance
nice and dreamy mood, great photo ! Story behind picture is always nice, i don't really care how long the writing is.
I just know that personally I like to appreciate a good photo and sometimes hearing a story behind it can limit its magic.
And thanks!
I think the pictures are much more hard work than writing 150 words, to name a number someone told me I should write with my pictures, also many people just only look at the pictures and don't read.
Anyhow it would be nice if you told us wich software you use and what is your workflow ;).
You can always check out my website www.kieranstone.com for my YouTube tutorials in Photoshop! Some full edits you can buy and some shorter tutorials are free :)
Ok thank you I will check, I need to learn more about how to shoot night long exposure photos, I use Gimp as I am an amateur, but it can do most things Photoshop can do ;)
