Hands down my best photo of the year, but I'll let you be the judge. This is from my Forest Lakes Adventure here, https://steemit.com/blog/@notconvinced/my-four-day-adventure-hiking-the-forest-lakes-trail
2017 has brought many changes in my life. The biggest was the epiphany which has detailed my path, at least for the next year. If you would like the details, please check out my introduction herehttps://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@notconvinced/hello-steemians-this-is-me
(Taken in Levi Carter Park)
Most of my photographs are taken at Levi Carter Park. This is a pretty large park, which is within walking distance of my home. My pup and I come here almost daily so he can run off leash and have a ball. The Omaha side of Carter Lake is about four miles long if you follow the shore line. I have created a post with three slideshows and quite a bit of information about the park contained within. You can find that here,

( Lower Boulder Creek, which gives Boulder, CO it's name. This was taken on my Eldorado Canyon Trail Hike)
I am an avid backpacker that has hiked many trails in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. You will see quite a few picture's from these adventure's.
( From my work route in Omaha, NE)
I have a few favorite spots on my driving route while working where timing allows me to get some great sunset shots.
Here's another one from the exact same spot, but looking in the opposite direction.
This one and the next two are from Levi Carter Park.
I call this one Natures Bathtub Toys. See the ducky?
Above and below are once again Levi Carter Park
All my Photo's to date are taken by smartphone. I have almost saved up enough money to get a new Canon T80. I can't wait as I know this will step up my photography multiple levels.
Above and below are two more from my Forest Lakes Trail Adventure.
Here is a meme I created from my gallery

The keys to producing eye popping photo's are quantity, timing, luck and a good editor. Learning to use an editor is a must.
Thank you for giving me your time. Please make the time to get outside, record it for others to enjoy and keep our area's clean by practicing leave-no-trace principles.
Love the landscapes. The sunscapes are pretty with vivid colors and the picture of Lowe Boulder creek makes me want to explore it. Hope to see more landscapes, sunscapes and nature photos.
Thank you, landscapes and the sky are what I am mostly about. You'll be seeing a lot of sunsets and many more adventures to come. If you scroll down my feed, you'll find quite a few full length videos and the slideshows these photo's came from.
The fact that you took them all with your phone's camera is pretty amazing and even with some editing, they ultimately look amazing. I look forward to seeing more, especially when you get a better camera. :) Good luck and thank you for sharing!
I followed you to get a front row seat for your first post. Welcome to Steemit, I think you'll like it here. Make sure to post a detailed introduction with a hand written piece of paper with your username and date. This validates your blog showing you are a real person. Good luck.
Thank you so much, what a nice comment.
Thank you, I've been trying to piece that Introduction together. I have learned thus far I do not like talking about myself. I have some spare time later tonight to work on it and I look forward to getting it out there. Mostly been enjoying reading everyone else's works and chatting with people along the way. Photography, art and new technology are my biggest interest so I feel like I finally fell down the right rabbit hole. Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here being as today is day 3 for me. :) Thank you again for the follow.
I actually think posting a few blogs to show what you are offering first helps gain more follower's. If you start with the introduction, you'll get votes, but not necessarily follower's. Of course we men are mostly pigs, so females get more followers simply because of gender.
Yes. I've noticed both those points. I've been working on a few different blog post so I may just put those out first before the introduction. I may also just decide to give a nice hello, nice to meet you... here my instagram pigs. haha ;) just kidding, I would never. :) well maybe for votes ;) haha no it will be basic like me :)
