~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~

Hello Photography Lovers! Welcome to another curation report featuring the community HotShots! where we have compiled some of your amazing photos to show off to the world!

Please take some time to review the entire post and go check out the rest of the images of features you like. Since we only share one featured image of many from your amazing posts, some of the best images are within the rest of the posts and we don't want you to miss the beauty!

Plus, you never know when your time to get featured may come and we are sure you would enjoy the same level of community support! So, make sure to support your fellow photographers because without you all, this community would not be possible.

Now, after curating diligently and sifting through the community's posts, here are the curation selections to share with you all. Keep up the great work for your chance to be in the next round of curation!

[oykaramba]

So who do I contact to get unmuted by the moderators?

[castleberry]

I just caught up on your situation. You have been unmuted in the Photography Lovers Community. Now that you have been verified from HiveWatchers I will also verify your account in another way as well. I apologize for the perception of your treatment as a new account.

However, there have been many times and instances where photography has been a major subject of plagiarism here on the blockchain. Since we are decentralized and community run, plagiarism is taken very seriously and we have seen almost every scammer trick in the book. I had muted your account until there was reasonable evidence to suggest that your account was legitimate and not just photography that seemed too good to be true. (that is most often the tell)

I have personally had to verify in private messages on multiple web2 platforms many photography accounts. I have also caught many many times when it was not the actual photography here with an account on Hive.

I am happy that you have gotten things cleared up and it should not take too long to get your reputation bumped back up and in a more positive light based on the quality of your content. Thanks for sticking around and going through the process. Your time here should be much more enjoyable now that you won't be under such scrutiny. You have some awesome content and i personally look forward to seeing what all you will share. Cheers

[oykaramba]

Thank you for that. I really appreciate it.
I plan to stick around, so expect a lot more stuff from me in the future ;)

[castleberry]

I wanted to share two posts i made to help newer users do well here on Hive.

• How To Get A Great Start on the Hive Blockchain

• How To Get A Great Start on Hive 2

Please check those out when you get some time and make sure NOT to do the things in there it warns against doing. I think this will increase your chances of support moving forward and accelerate your growth as well!

[oykaramba]

These were useful, I read them both. Thank you

[shoemanchu]

@castleberry So very much appreciate the mention & curation! Thank you, a pleasure to be part of the community!😊🙏

[castleberry]

We are happy to have you both sharing your shots with us here in the community! Keep up the great work. Cheers

[qiparosa]

Thank you for the warm welcome😊🙏

[steven-patrick]

Thanks for including my posts 🙏🙏 The windmill Hotshot is really well done. We've all experimented with taking shots to capture the circular movement of the stars. Great idea combining with the windmill 👍

[castleberry]

The photo-stacking process to make that image was pretty impressive. I never get tired of seeing the stars like that or his windmill... but both in one stacked image was great!

That twisted shot in your post was also super cool! Thanks for sharing your shots and taking time to comment my friend. Stay Warm
Cheers

[wolfplayzor]

Thank you!

[castleberry]

You are welcome!

[joetunex]

Thank you 😊

[castleberry]

You're welcome. Thanks for sharing your shots with us.

[goga22]

And, today I have a wonderful Hat Trick plus another photo, happy and grateful because you see my effort and work, you see my love for photography. I'm just sorry that I didn't find out about @ecency much, much earlier, dear @castleberry. But here I am, let's move on.... Congratulations to all the other authors and you can go on holiday 😉😉

[castleberry]

Better late than never is what i always say! Between your Christmas shots and Creative shots... you are on a roll. But then, I can't remember a time since you have been here that you were not on a roll! hahaha See you next round, I'm sure! Cheers

[goga22]

Be sure of that dear @castleberry, but I have to repeat it just this once.... When somewhere and sometimes you embark on something foreign, new and unknown, the most important thing is that wind at your back that pushes you and helps you... And that's what you were here for me at the very beginning... And I am deeply grateful to you for that

[castleberry]

[goga22]

hahahahaha

[avdesing]

It is always a pleasure for me to bring the wonders that I find in museums, every day I am more and more passionate about going to them and seeing what I find. Thank you very much for your support!😃💗

[castleberry]

The hard part is fighting the glare on the glass and finding good angles to get the clear shots you want without losing the subject visually based on what you intend to show off! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

[avdesing]

I will do it, I will keep working and learning! For now I'm thinking about my self-portrait!

[castleberry]

Don't think too hard... i hear it's dangerous!

[avdesing]

I won't think about it, I'm already drawing!

[theoctoberwind]

Congratulations💫💫 to the authors, thankyou @castleberry for the mention 💖💖

[castleberry]

You have such dramatically beautiful surroundings. It's always interesting to see what you will share next. Keep up the great work.
