Hi, welcome to Chili's!
My name is Raphael. Im a german fella in my 20's, currently working as an newspaper-journalist.
But - surprise - you won't find articles on my steemit blog. Photos: that's what i'm here for.
When i started my career as a journalist, my photography-skills were poor. It didn't even bother me much, until i realised how much of an improvment good photos are to my articles.
That's why i bought a new camera and started learning the basics of photography from scratch. ISO, exposure, bokeh: All these terms were new to me.
I really fell in love with photography. Eventough i don't live in the most beautiful area of germany, i think there's always a chance to get an interesting picture.
As you will see i already improved my skills, but there's still a long way to go.
One of my recent photos:
In comparison to one of my first pictures:
But if you're a photographer, why don't you use instagram?
Good question. I hate the concept of instagram. First of all there are way to much pages, who are just uploading others peoples work/photos, to get likes and comments. That's not my intention. I don't want go get as much likes are possible. I'm on steemit to show my work and maybe even get help from more advanced photographers. And if there's a chance to get rewards for my work, why wouldn't i use it?
Alrighty, to wrap this up:
Enjoy my work, if you got any questions, ask them and always remember: Staaaahp! I coulda dropped my croissant!
And please: Excuse my english, i'm not used to write long paragraphs in foreign language anymore.
