@jacey.boldart, thanks for reading!

Hey @matkodurko, I know - but reward comes with a little risk, right? :) The wall is probably a bit deeper than it looks on the photo, but I think those two cameras have already had the fear of heights

@adamada, thanks for reading! Happy shooting :)

Hey @cicisaja, thanks for your kind words. Appreciate you taking the time to comment :)

I think that effect you mean in portrait shots is probably bokeh, where you get a nice blur on the background but the person is in perfect focus? In terms of camera recommendations, it's difficult to say

Hey @peachyladiva, thanks for reading! I hope you see some great results. If you get chance to post some images where you've used these techniques I'd love to see them

@trincowski, thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I will thank @zorank for the kind recommendation :)

Hey @zorank, thanks for taking the time to read my post and recommend it here. Much appreciated :)

Hey @wisejg, thanks for taking the time to read & comment. I think you can definitely apply #1 and #3 with a smartphone. You can get some great small and cheap phone tripods that are not too much hassle

Hey @glenalbrethsen, thanks for reading! Yeah that bridge is pretty epic, isn't it? It's called Puente Nuevo, and it's located in Ronda, Spain. It's become a very popular spot with travel and landscape

Hey, @oliviackl thanks for reading! From your brief description I think the problem you are having is down to exposure of the image. If you want to understand a little more, have a look into the concept

Hey @cryptoguru1, thanks for the welcome. I'll check out your post!

Hey @goldrooster, thanks for the welcome, and for the tips. I'll be sure to add more tags next time. After reading the introduction / beginners guide stuff I was a bit wary of using less relevant tags

Hey @blanchy, thanks for the welcome. This may be a dumb question but bear in mind I'm new :) How/why do you find Discord so useful in parallel with Steemit? I joined Steem chat, but I've never used Discord
