Intro

[blakerandall]

Hi everyone! I’m Blake Randall, a landscape photographer from Vancouver, Canada. I generally shoot western Canadian landscapes but sometimes I travel to other mountainous regions of the world. I picked up my first DSLR probably around 10 years ago but I have always had an interest in photography. I’ve always been attracted to the idea that photography represents something tangible. When I see a beautiful photo of an incredible place it is something real to me. Somewhere I can actually go and see with my own eyes, something I can step in the middle of and immerse myself in. Likewise when I take a photo I generally want it to represent an experience that I had or that other people can experience or to share the natural beauty of the world we live in. However, on the other hand I sometimes like to express an idea, mood or vision that comes from within. I don’t usually share the latter but ever so often I do. I usually try to include what editing I have done to an image, especially if it’s pushing into the realm of digital art.

I'm excited to be apart of the hive community. A special thanks to @tristan.todd and @caseygrimley for helping me get on here. I've posted some of my work below.

Yoho National Park, BC, Canada

The Tombstone Range in the Canadian North

Great shots, friend! The Tombstone range is amazing; like something out of Middle Earth.

Western Canada certainly offers a lot of unspoiled territories to photograph. Great job capturing the spirit of this wilderness.

Cheers from the USA1

[blakerandall]

Thanks Braveboat! I couldn't agree more, the tombstone range is definitely amazing,

[teacherjoe]

Hello @blakerandall This is @macchiata from the @OCD(Original Content Decentralized) team.

Those are pretty awesome pictures and we love to have you here!

We saw that you already posted your first post here in Hive Blockchain. Congratulations and welcome!

There are some information that I want you to have a look:

1. Exploring communities on hive OCD Communities Incubation Program and https://peakd.com/communities for all communities on hive
2. For tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide.
3. The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise.

If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server or you can tag @macchiata if you have further question. I'd be happy to help.

Have a nice day and have fun exploring hive!
