TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY in MOROCCO // My visit to Ben Youssef Madrasa

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

One of the reasons I visited Morocco was to see some Arabian architecture, the arched doorways, the colorful mosaic, and the carved details. The Ben Youssef Madrasa, in Marrakech, was definitely a highlight of my visit.
This Madrasa used to be an Islamic college, build in the 16th century, and since 1982 open to the public as a historical site.

I was lucky to be visiting on a quiet day. Perfect for making some great photos.

Let me know if you've visited Marrakech as well, or if you're thinking about going sometime.
Hope you enjoyed my post!

Hi Ryanne. Nice post with good photos.

A bit of advice re post content. From my experience on Steemit, I've found that it's better to post more than a few photos. The ideal is probably 15-20 per post.

Also, you should add more text. For instance, a general overview of the place, or something about your trip that stand out. Then, for each photo, it's good to include at least one paragraph for each (5-6 lines).

You can add detailed info about the photo, or something related to the history of the scene, or anything of interest.

The point is to create "QUALITY CONTENT." The more in depth you make it, the more the whales seem to approve of the content, and the more they'll upvote your post, and maybe even promote your post.

Of course, continue to include the claim that you took the photos. And what kind of camera you use, even if it's a simple look-and-click camera like mine.

Best of luck. Full Steem Ahead.

Thanks for the advice!
I will start to mention what camera I use.
And I will definitely keep your advice in my mind;)
Thanks again for taking the time to write this up for me. I appreciate it very much!

I was given similar advice, after someone saw some of my posts and liked their potential.

I reacted similarly, because your posts have potential to earn a bit more. All the best!!!
