Introduction - Hans the photographer (and cryptogeek)
Sunset at the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia
Hello Steem World!
I'm a photographer and crypto-enthusiast. I've been observing Steem from the sidelines ever since I got into crypto back in April 2017. My first real introduction to Steem was through watching @quickfingersluc's (who used to call himself The Happy Steem Trader) excellent YouTube videos about trading. More recently I helped get my photographer buddy @justinmullet into crypto and he headed straight for Steem and started cranking out content. I watched for a bit, got jealous, and jumped in too! Thanks, Justin!
I'll be sharing a mix of old* and new photos on this blog.

If anyone has any Steem-specific tips or suggestions on the format of photography you'd like to see, please leave me some comments letting me know.
Thanks everyone!

* In the sense that:
- I've posted it elsewhere to social media already or
- That I've taken the photo a long time ago (I have an enormous backlog of photos to edit)
Welcome man :) Awesome pictures! You should definitely head over to @czechglobalhosts and compete in his daily picture challenges!
Resteeming you for some publicity!
Greets, @theaustrianguy
Wow, awesome, thanks! I already follow @czechglobalhosts after skimming what they posted, appreciating the quality of it, and because of my burning desire to visit Prague. However, I didn't realize there were contests I could join. Looks fantastic!
The contests are great Hans! Different continent for each day of the week. I've not scored first, yet still earned several $2-$4 SBD prizes and a few good upvotes.

Nice photos, Welcome to Steemit!!
Welcome to steemit
Welcome to Steemit dude! So, the moment I saw your last name, combined with @justinmullet I was quick to assume that you probably have the same roots that I do. I checked your Facebook and it looks like 4 people I know like your page, and you're from the same town that my sister lives at. You aren't by chance Mennonite in some form are you?
I most certainly am! I'm Amish-Mennonite. I don't think I know any Webers around here, though I know a few from Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario area. Thanks so much for the welcome. Looking forward to the incredible potential of this platform! I have some networking ideas to get a bunch more pro photographers over here. Stay tuned.
Well I'm just gonna hop in here since I'm from the same background as @aweber. Welcome to Steemit! Glad to have you here. Also, always weird how small the world is when you run into people with Mennonite roots haha.
Ha, I knew it! My sister married a Miller, who runs a dairy farm out there. Doubtful you know them, but still cool. I know a few people from out there. Small world, ha.
@aweber your brother-in-law BM is my second cousin. My mom is a first cousin to OM and my buddy (who I ate supper with last night) works at their dairy for them. #WinningTheMennoniteGame
Well, of course! I should have known we are legitimately connected, haha. That's crazy.
One more menno checking in. I saw the name and knew you had to be. Looks like we have 6 FB friends in common! I've been to Hutch quite a few times. Welcome to Steemit!
Lolz
Ha! We Amish/Mennos are known for being on the cutting edge of tech, eh? 🤣
Creeper.

Hi @introbot and @bycoleman. Thanks for this helpful intro! You may consider adding a link to the post I just wrote to either this template comment that you are posting (best of course! grin) or to your "How does Steemit actually work?" post. I found my post addresses the one remaining pain point of getting Steem working well after getting an account: https://steemit.com/steemit/@hansmast/introduction-and-answers-to-common-questions-how-to-transfer-steem-from-exchanges-binance-bittrex-etc-to-your-steemit-wallet
