Sup John, my name is also John and @rodent also got me to sign up for the site. Im also from Michigan... Weird right?

With that being said, welcome and I hope you enjoy you time here. Dont give up on the site like I originally did. Starting out isnt easy and getting upvotes at the start can be hard. However, if you post they will come.

Look in to #contest to see if you can compete in any of them. @photocontests is a good starting place, they have two daily contests for photography. You can learn more about it here.

Another good place is @czechglobalhosts. Tomas holds a contest every day. I suggest checking him out.

If you use discord photocontests has on. You should also check out Peace, Abundance, and Liberty. They are a great grop of people and @aggroed is a great guy. They run @minnowsupport which can help you get starter.

Any questions feel free to ask. :)

Have fun.
