First time trial post

[richardgreen]

Hi steemians,

This is the first time I'm posting on steemit. I just want to post a couple pictures I took to get an idea of how the platform works. Any feedback at this point would be very much appreciated. Thanks to @gabrielaesquivel for introducing me to Steemit.

I'm an amateur photographer and enjoy taking pictures of nature. Specially pictures of the beach and underwater shots.

I also enjoy playing beach volleyball.

I plan on blogging about healthy lifestyle choices, photography and staying fit as you get older.

This is a picture of a beautiful sunset in my hometown of South Florida.

Will be posting more pictures soon.

Hello, Richard, and Welcome to Steemit

As an amateur photographer, you'll most likely find Steemit to be a great platform. If you have good photos and if you can present them properly and alluringly, you'll do well.

I was a simple teacher, writer, and camera-totin' tourist, but now I am also a "professional" photographer on this platform. (Only part-time, but that's fine by me.)

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 10–20 photographs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2. Include some text to complement the photos. Anything from background info about the subject, to technical details about the camera or the photo, or even anything about your overall technique. As long as you have a fine balance between images and text, you'll get a better response.
3. Ensure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
   4 – Be yourself.
   5 – Be interesting and informative.
   6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
   7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
