That’s great! I also went from smartphone to camera, but I made the switch about 3 years ago now :) about the challenges, I never really know either haha. But I think it’s a good way to get more exposure for your work.. I think @photomatic @photofeed and #photogames are the most common challenge creators!
I’vee followed you and I look forwards to seeing more of your photography as it develops! Feel free to reach out if you ever have any Steemit or photography questions :)
Thanks bro! ill do :)
