NEW YEAR = NEW CAMERA
This is the moment that I've been waiting for... I hope.
You see, I have some skills, hobbies, and talents to work with, but I mostly have to use what I've got. For instance, this is how I simulate a zoom effect with a camera when I'm photographing something like a Water Moccasin.
Sure, it might not be the safest, but, I've got to use what I've got. I take my posts seriously and enjoy sharing them with all of you, so I try to put out a "high quality" post when I post, which includes my own original images.
There is still room for improvement, but I've been getting better. This is why I've decided to start the new year off right and really invest in a better camera. Hopefully, you will soon be able to see an improvement in my images.
IMPROVING AND PROGRESSING
Before steemit, I didn't really have an outlet for my hobbies, talents, or creativity. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a blessing it has been. Moreover, it inspires greatness, or at least it inspires to shoot for greatness.
I do not simply want to make a post, I want to make a captivating, impressive post. I do not just want to take a photo, I want to share an incredible image. I don't just want to exist, I want to live.
This is why I am so thankful for steemit. It encourages us to work harder, to learn and apply, to improve, and to help others do the same. I do not know what this year will hold for us, but I am excited to be here, and I'll be continously trying to progress in my capabilities and refine my skills. Be blessed!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
I did the same thing in the middle of the selfie contest. Got a T5i. The contest helped me start learning what the camera is capable of and the subjects let me explore its boundries.
I’ve had the canon eos 1300d for a few months now and think it’s a great camera, it’s my first proper camera so there’s been lots to learn but it’s been fun doing so I hope you enjoy it as much as me . My latest photos with my camera are of a blue tit looking for a place to roost if you find the time you may like them. Thanks mike
Congratulations on your new camera... Pictures are looking awesome now...
I hope that they will! Thanks!
Congrats on your new gear man! My first digital SLR was a Rebel. They are very capable cameras.Keep at it and you'll only get better. I hope to start posting more of my tips and tricks soon on Steemit so please follow me! I've been shooting for over 10 years professionally and I want to share my experience on Steemit. Seems like a great supportive community!!! Keep on going with your creative outlet!
Cool, glad to hear and welcome to Steemit.
Congratulations papa-pepper on your new camera. When on your adventures l would take your phone with you still you can never have to many cameras. Enjoy the photographs and the time outdoors.
Very nice! I have the T3i. Even though I have it I normally only have my phone on me anyway lol. You're going to have a lot of fun with it I'm sure.
