I love to hear this. I agree that the competition is quite fierce and both knowledge of photography and equipment significantly increases your odds of winning. For this reason I have doubled the total number of categories to 14, which allows for a maximum of 140 different winners per week. I also added the smartphone category to make the playing field more even for this specific category.

Luckily you enjoy my daily selections, made possible by no other than our other Steemians! Just by looking at other photos you start learning more and more about photography. Eventually trying to mimic photos you like with your own camera. Over time everyone can grow together :)
