📷 S.M.A.C. by @future24, April 2018 - Day 5: Golden Hour Sunset Photography in the Maldives!

Hey dear Steemians & blog readers,

here is my next daily #monthlyauthorchallenge post and for today I have chosen these beautiful golden sunset photos, which I have taken in the Maldives in October 2017:

Here are the first two very beautiful Golden Hour Shots I have taken during sunset on the Vilamendhoo Island in the Maldives:

The photo above and the following shot below are original & un-edited photos, which I have taken with my old HTC One M9 smartphone:

This is my favourite photo, edited with some great photo effects:

This is the original photo, without filter effects:

Rules of the Steemit Monthly Author Badget Challenge:

• Post 1 article with a photo of your life every day for one month and use the tag #monthlyauthorchallenge for this posts.

• You don´t have to add a detailed describtion to your photo article and it can be a quick photo post with Steepshot for example too. (But don´t forget the #monthlyauthorchallenge tag!)

• The photo of your life don´t has to be up-to-date, but not older than 1 year, or you can also choose a photo of your childhood.

• To make it more comfortable for everyone, you don´t have to nominate someone for the challenge every day in your daily post. Nominating is voluntary, but to share this fun, I would suggest to nominate some other Steemians from time to time, so that you can do this funny challenge together.

• Your challenge ends when you reached the Monthy Author badget on steemitboard.com and then just make a final post that you finished the challenge. Info: The period for the Monthly Author Badget is always from the first of a calendar month until the last day of this month. 👌

That´s it, just have fun and if you like, share this challenge too and let´s become Monthly Authors everyone - Steem On!
