MyPictureSunday#8 - Testing my new Nikon D750! + New Challenge

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

It's been a crazy week my Steemian friends!

Welcome to the 8th episode of MyPictureSunday! Finally dreams become true. For months I was looking to get a new camera but unfortunately it didn't turn out to be easy. First of all: What camera do you want? How much do you want to pay? What lens etc.

All my recent photographs were shot with an iPhone 5S. It makes nice shots but I wanted more. I wanted to show YOU more. I decided to spent some money and buy a new Nikon D750.

Why did I do so?

Simply because I want to give something back to this wonderful community. For the first time I really do enjoy to take pictures. I used to upload my pictures on google, Facebook, tumblr, flickr etc. but no platform gave me this feeling as Steemit does. No community was able to achieve what you were able to do! As we continue to grow I realize that this is the place I want to be.

I started to travel more in order to show you the beauty of Europe. Starting with Vienna, Paris, Munich, London and Hamburg there are many other cities in Europe coming.

Today I wanted to play around with some settings. It's been a while I used such an advanced camera. I need some time to get used to it. So expect more in the near future!

Here are today's shots















Now it's your turn!

Let us know how your PhotographyDay looks like! Grab your camera and go out, take some shots and share them on Steemit!
The best PictureDay post gets 50 SteemPower onto his account, the second place 25 SteemPower and the third place 10 SteemPower. Honorable mentions will receive 5 SteemPower.

Steem on my friends! Prepare for tomorrows next episode of Myth or Fact. It's about time to bust some myths or prove them right!

Yours,

Yes, you clearly have an amazing piece of equipment... but the equipment means nothing and is rendered useless when not held in the hands of enormous talent!! Your photos are stunning!!!

So bad that I left my camera in Spain and can't have it for another week, I'll pass this first round but can't wait to shot something new and post it for the challenge! Thanks for all the motivation and once again, so happy that you get that Nikon! See you soon with new pics ;)

See you at the second round! Can't wait too see you shots.

Btw. your camera must have a good taint after Spain!

:D Just one question, picture must be from that day/week we put them right? Cannot be older (asking just to know if I got everything right)

I'll see if I come up with something interesting this week. However, I got no fancy camera... My smartphone will have to do.

Thanks a lot for the very generous contest hosting and, by the way, I really like the pictures, they have striking lines!

Namaste :)

Isn't that just great?!?
(Steemit is great! ;) ☺)

They all are so much beautiful that I do not want to close this page.

Aw! Makes me happy to hear

Amazing pics man. I haven't really travelled all that much lately. 15 years ago I visited a lot of places. Now its harder.

I'm already looking around more than I usually do these days for a good pic.

มุมสวยโคตรสวยเลยครับ หาได้ยังไงมุมแบบนั้น The view is so nice!!

The first photo of the flower through the lens is amazing! One of the best photos I have seen recently! Thanks you so much for sharing! Keep up the great work
