Hi everyone!
I've joined Steemit 3 days ago, gave it a test drive and, despite being a bit skeptical about the platform in the beginning, I actually liked what I saw and what I've been experiencing so far. Lots of good and creative people around.
So here I am, introducing myself to all of you... Lets start with the face under the hair :))
I'm Portuguese and two years ago I would never guess that I could be shooting photography today, yet, here I am editing and writing about it as we "speak"...
It all started as any other pastime activity, but it grew on me, and it grew BIG.
The turning point was when I started to edit my shots, I got completely addicted to the whole process. It's really rewarding to take any photo and transform it into something unique and personal. That's what drives me. I actually prefer to edit than to shoot, go figure...
If you're still not hooked into Photography run while you can, because after you get into it there's no turning back!!
Meanwhile I got unemployed and found myself with too much free time on my hands, so I decided to use that time and create a photographic website together with my wife.
We grinded our butts on that place since last October, got a generous and awesome group of loyal users posting daily, but the ad revenue model simply doesn't work anymore, we couldn't even maintain it with the income we were getting from Google Adsense, so we're closing it this Sunday anyway.
Am I sad about it?
A bit, I can't deny it, but I like to think that success comes from persistence and every failure gets you closer to it, so here I am, turning the page and starting this new chapter.
I'll be posting ONLY original content, and I'll promote good photography the best way I can.
Here are few of my shots, so you guys can get an idea about what to expect.
You can click on them and check the original post if you want :))
- Macro... I love it but suck on shooting it... I try to compensate with my editing.
- Skies... My favorite thing to shoot and edit... The more drama the better!
- Color Splash... One of my favorites, specially if working with flowers.
- Monochromes... My favorite... It removes all the unnecessary distractions from any shot.
Keep on Steeming!

Hello @brumest, nice to meet you. Welcome on Steemit :) I like your photographs so I will give you a chance to show me more and follow you :) I'm also shooting from time to time, so if you like you can follow me as well - maybe you will find something interesting in my photos. Cheers!
Hi @imperfect-one. Thanks for the chance. I'll give you one too :D
Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
I just noticed now that you're from Wrocław.
Lovely city, my wife is from there. What a small world :))
Wow, really? And where do you live currently?
We live in Portugal.
Cool :) Are you visiting Wrocław sometimes?
Yeaa, normally at least once a year. I was there for Xmas.
Nice to hear that - maybe one day there will be some possibility to drink some beer together :)
Glad you decided to stick around. I was skeptical like you, but one thing I really enjoy about Steemit is that you get content from people around the world. Facebook is limited to people you know and has become a political bickering and YouTube is censoring so I've found a home with Steemit. I've find myself barely checking facebook and most of the YouTube channels I watched also post on Steemit.
Oh, and following you now. Look forward to more photography posts.
I totally agree with that politicization of FB . Unfortunately It's almost impossible to escape that these days.
Thanks for stopping by and for the follow. Much appreciated!
Welcome! I checked out your blog and absolutely love your work! Will definitely be following you ;)
I love skies too but I stick to looking at them O:) The people here are really friendly and I've had numerous cool interactions. That's what I like most about steemit.
Thanks for the warm welcome, @best-pomchi-ever!

Why once again
Bruno !
We "know" each other for maybe one or two years now, through the internet platform, and I confess that I didn't know much apart your photos and gorgeous edits, nothing really personal apart the cat & wife ..LoL it's great that we make an introduction post on Steemit for that, I'm happy to learn more about you, and looking forward to reading @ewkaw presentation ;-)
here is the link to my introduction post so that you can also learn one or two things about me, it is an old one that you might not find in my blog because two many posts to go through so here it is : https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@barbara-orenya/hello-beautiful-a-few-words-and-pictures-of-introduction
I wish you a cheerful day and I'm sure you will adore it here !
Thank you!
Yes, around 2 years I'd say, since TSU, where we first met.
I tend not to give too much personal information on these internet platforms (at least publicly), but since this seems to be an exceptional one, I opened an exception too :))
@ewkaw will write her's soon as well.
(there's something wrong with your link, Barbara. It tells me that the page doesn't exist).
Great shots. I think you will have a lot of fun here. There are various contests for photographers. Enjoy
Thank you, @steevc. So far I am liking it and even trying to bring some of my FB followers here. We'll see how it goes. Cheers!
Amazing work ! Happy to see you both here! This platform reminds me of some good times now that i see more and more familiar profiles ! \☺/
Thank you Remco!
It's true, it looks more familiar every day :D
You look like Jesus :) Welcome bro
Don't let the look deceive you :D
Thanks man!
Welcome to Steemit! It's good to see people coming over from Tsu. Were you behind the Artistic Freedom Crew site? That's the best that I've seen for showing photos. If so, maybe you can partner with the folks working on the photo-focused Steemit apps, like Steemit.pics. Development of apps that work with the Steemit blockchain can pay off here. And your photos will, too - especially your dramatic skies. They are irresistable!
Thank you very much, @haphazard-hstead!
Yes, I was the founder and creator of the AFC website, together with @EwkaW, my wife.
I am really looking forward to get to know the Steemit photographic community and help to grow it in te best way I can. I have few ideas but so far I am too tiny to be even noticed by the majority.
For now I am trying to get some good and talented friends and followers from FB to join us here.
Cheers!
Congratulations on developing the AFC website. It was so pretty to look at. I just couldn't bring myself to be active on one more site, even one so pretty. If you ever want to explore development, you might want to connect with the folks behind the SteemPics project. At least show them the AFC.
I really appreciate the suggestion, but I have zero programming knowledge, @haphazard-hstead. AFC was a simple Wordpress website :))
But such a good design!
Not sure if I've said hello yet (I get to sign in late snd exhausted), anyhow welcome, hope to see much more of your shots. Bringing the wife here too? If so, let us know.
Hello @coquiunlimited, and thanks for the welcoming.
Please forgive me but I don't recall your nick. Were you on TSU as well?
And yes, my wife is here already :))
I am here :)
