RE: PowerHouseCreatives Contest - So Happy I Took The Leap and Bought...

in ART LOVERS5 years ago

Very nice @porters, I too bought a new camera last Summer, a NIKON D5600. It has more bells and whistles than I know what to do with or how to use, but I'm still "a larnin'" as the hillbillies would say.
Very nice images too, and the explanations. Well done indeed.

Sort:  

I believe I had seen some of your photos with your poetry - they were beautiful! Are you taking any training or just experimenting and learning as you go?

If you saw an image with my poetry, it wasn't mine. before I began taking
My own images, but had begun writing original works I was scalping
Images from google.
Then when I began posting my works outside FB (in Tsū, a pay-for-posting predecessor to Steemit) I was told that this was a big no no, so I found two sites that offered excellent quality, copyright free images.
Those are what I use now for 95% of my writing, always linking out to the source.
Pixabay .com and Unsplash .com are my two "go to" sites.
Thanks for your interest @porters. So to answer your question about training; mostly just trial and error, but I HAVE watched a couple of YouTube tutorials.
Didn't help a lot imo
