Sunset at the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia
Hello Steem World!
I'm a photographer and crypto-enthusiast. I've been observing Steem from the sidelines ever since I got into crypto back in April 2017. My first real introduction to Steem was through watching @quickfingersluc's (who used to call himself The Happy Steem Trader) excellent YouTube videos about trading. More recently I helped get my photographer buddy @justinmullet into crypto and he headed straight for Steem and started cranking out content. I watched for a bit, got jealous, and jumped in too! Thanks, Justin!
I'll be sharing a mix of old* and new photos on this blog.

If anyone has any Steem-specific tips or suggestions on the format of photography you'd like to see, please leave me some comments letting me know.
Thanks everyone!

- I've posted it elsewhere to social media already or
- That I've taken the photo a long time ago (I have an enormous backlog of photos to edit)
Welcome man :) Awesome pictures! You should definitely head over to @czechglobalhosts and compete in his daily picture challenges!
Resteeming you for some publicity!
Greets, @theaustrianguy
Wow, awesome, thanks! I already follow @czechglobalhosts after skimming what they posted, appreciating the quality of it, and because of my burning desire to visit Prague. However, I didn't realize there were contests I could join. Looks fantastic!
The contests are great Hans! Different continent for each day of the week. I've not scored first, yet still earned several $2-$4 SBD prizes and a few good upvotes.

Nice photos, Welcome to Steemit!!
Welcome to steemit
Welcome to Steemit dude! So, the moment I saw your last name, combined with @justinmullet I was quick to assume that you probably have the same roots that I do. I checked your Facebook and it looks like 4 people I know like your page, and you're from the same town that my sister lives at. You aren't by chance Mennonite in some form are you?
I most certainly am! I'm Amish-Mennonite. I don't think I know any Webers around here, though I know a few from Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario area. Thanks so much for the welcome. Looking forward to the incredible potential of this platform! I have some networking ideas to get a bunch more pro photographers over here. Stay tuned.
Ha, I knew it! My sister married a Miller, who runs a dairy farm out there. Doubtful you know them, but still cool. I know a few people from out there. Small world, ha.
@aweber your brother-in-law BM is my second cousin. My mom is a first cousin to OM and my buddy (who I ate supper with last night) works at their dairy for them. #WinningTheMennoniteGame
Well, of course! I should have known we are legitimately connected, haha. That's crazy.
One more menno checking in. I saw the name and knew you had to be. Looks like we have 6 FB friends in common! I've been to Hutch quite a few times. Welcome to Steemit!
Lolz
Ha! We Amish/Mennos are known for being on the cutting edge of tech, eh? 🤣
Hola amigo, suerte en la divertida plataforma de steemit!

Hi @introbot and @bycoleman. Thanks for this helpful intro! You may consider adding a link to the post I just wrote to either this template comment that you are posting (best of course! grin) or to your "How does Steemit actually work?" post. I found my post addresses the one remaining pain point of getting Steem working well after getting an account: https://steemit.com/steemit/@hansmast/introduction-and-answers-to-common-questions-how-to-transfer-steem-from-exchanges-binance-bittrex-etc-to-your-steemit-wallet
Yes, I noticed your post. Very nicely done. Keep it up and you will go far!
Blessings!
Welcome to Steemit, hansmast! I wish you an awesome journey here in this loving and caring community :)
Hello welcome to STEEM family
Welcome to steemit! Good to see more photographers showing up here :)
I've been using steepshot to host my photos, it's an Instagram like platform that is linked directly to your steem blog. It's still in alpha and doesn't support markdown or HTML in the descriptions yet, so formatting is a bit tough. You can add formatting that will show up on steemit, but on steepshot just looks like a mess of characters. Plus you have 7 days to edit the post directly from your blog too.
So far all your photos are looking beautiful, keep it up! I look forward to seeing what else you have up your sleeve.
Hey Hans

Welcome on steem...and awesome shots, following you for more great posts ;)
Thanks, followed back! I enjoyed your photos as well. Seeing that Lynx, I really want to visit that zoo. I have a life goal of photographing all the big predator cats in the wild with a secondary goal of doing the small ones too. I'd love an interim zoo shot tho! And Norway is one of my favorite countries in the world.
