Hi @steemadi,

I find your entry interesting but there's no forest around where I live and photographing fungus in winter will be hard and the same counts for bugs and butterflies.

There are countries, places where you can't find mushrooms unless you photograph what is sold in the shop, count what grows on spoiled bread, the walls if the roof above your head leaks (it's usually green) and what (French) cheese is made of.

Does this mean all those Steemians cannot follow the lessons?
Actually, everyone who has no forest can't since your lessons tell us to find fungus, plants, bugs, butterflies in the forest.

It might be good to point out that there are apps with which flora and fauna can partly be traced. I say partly since I noticed more than once that these apps frequently show 6 options and still what I shows on my photo isn't between those six.

I do agree with you that it would be a good thing if we try to add a name to what we post. I would also be interested in not only hearing the Latin name but also the common name people give to it (this can also be interesting since behind these names can lie stories/anecdotes too).

I wonder about:

• the 450 words one will spend on one mushroom or bug. I hope this will not turn into a wikipedia copy-past info entry wit a load of greetings. It might be could if the text contains information about the journey, time, location and so on and it also could be pinned in the Steem Atlas
• Lesson 2 says: plants and insects in the forest. I wonder about the pets count too. Does that mean if I keep a snake or snail as a pet I can take a photo or have to put it in the forest first?
• What is the brand of your mobile phone? It might be good to mention brand and type as well since not everyone can take great photo's which might be taken into consideration as well.
  
  

@cryptopie what do you think about joining a club of nature photographers? You and I can not go out in the forest, can we join taking macro photo's?
