It's a beautiful Monday everyone!
Don't forget to thank our dear Creator for another wonderful day to enjoy life. Indeed, this is a very beautiful and blessed day for me. I got a FREE Longadesal from Mcdonald's earlier this morning as they are celebrating their national breakfast day. Longadesal paired with roasted coffee to start a fresh new day.
I am a very grateful person and I tend to celebrate even small things happening in my life. Of course, I would like to thank @surpassinggoogle @teardrops for being very supportive to minnows. Indeed, he inspires many Steemians to take the courage to keep going and steeming. With all his generosity to me, I would like to pay it forward to my fellow minnows. Because I believe that you will be more blessed if you know how to give back and share your blessings with others. And sharing our blessings doesn't need a perfect timing, It can be anytime. So I got the idea of conducting my First Contest here in Steemit to help my fellow steemians.
I'm a fond of joining different contests here in Steemit. It in fact, made a huge contribution to my growth here as I learned to engage with different people, to showcase my skills and to give myself an extra exposure. I noticed that more Steemians loves photography, so I thought of making my First Contest on photography. In this contest, you will showcase your skills in photography by only using a smartphone but shots like a Pro (Professional).
The mechanics are simple:
- Upvote and Resteem this post
- Find your subject and take a Pro-shot using your smartphone (find the best angle to capture its beauty)
- Write a post and explain why you chose it as your subject
- Indicate the smartphone model that you used in taking the photo.
- Indicate the camera pixel, location and the enhancement that you did.
- You can post more than 1 photo on your post taken from a different angle but with the same subject.
- Use #proshots as your first tag
- Paste your link in the comment section of this post.
Important rules:
1.) Only smartphone is allowed to use in this contest. That means no DSLR, Digicam or Action cam is allowed to use.
2.) Only minor enhancements are allowed such as adjusting the brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur. Uses of Photoshop is not allowed.
3.) 1 entry per person only
4.) No plagiarism_
