Introducing Myself
Hello dear Steemians! So here is my second post... This time I hope I found the correct category!
My name is Keith Boone and I'm a photographer from Victoria, BC, Canada. I hope some of you will remember me from Tsu, Clickasnap and Facebook.
I love all kinds of photography but my main interests are nature, wildlife and landscape. Living here in Victoria, we have some of the nicest weather in Canada... mild winters, very little snow... but this is the Pacific Northwest so now and then a storm can blow in from the Pacific. Yesterday was exactly such a day, with strong winds and some great wave action.
In this photo, you can see the 1/2 mile long breakwater in Victoria. The breakwater takes a couple of twists and turns, eventually ending at the small lighthouse you can see in the photo. When my wife and I first moved to Victoria, the breakwater had no guardrails... imagine taking a half mile walk here with no railings on a stormy day like this!
I'm very happy to be here on Steemit, and I hope to connect with as many of my friends from other networks as possible. I know it will take a little while to learn my way around here, so please be patient as I try to learn the rules and etiquette here! Now I'm heading to the FAQ section...
About the photo.... Nikon D750, 270mm, 1/125 second, f/5.6, ISO 140
What an awesome capture! I can't quite imagine what this would be like without any guardrails!
You captured an epic moment there!
Hi, Keith! Glad you are here! Everyone has missed you? Can't you see that? :)
Upvoted and Resteemed Tip!
Thank you, Denise! High wind warnings again today so there should be some more wave action. It's awesome to be connecting with old friends again! Steemit seems great, thanks for giving me a little push to join! :)
You are always a pleasure to blog around with. :)
"blog around" haha! You too Denise :)
Welcome!
Nice to another person from BC on here. We are growing!
Thank you for the welcome Gavin! I followed you. Hope to see more of your work in the future!
Really nice to see you and your amazing photography again Keith
Thanks a lot Woody! I've been using FB a bit, but not CAS and I haven't really found a "home". Still miss Tsu. How are you finding this place?
I spend most of my day here. Just concentrate on getting a following and posting the Crypto Currency and cashing out part you'll learn as you go. Your account value goes up and down like the stock Market, just hold tight and dont panic when it happens. You can click on anyones Wallet and see how this place is treating them lol
OK... so far I know less than zero. I started out at zero, but got more confused after a few hours! :)
We all go through that. Youll be a pro in no time. Tags are important here. On the left you will see a list, its generated by popularity, so use that to your advantage. First Tag is the most important. Photography should always be yours.
Great, I'll use Photography going forward. There seem to be tons of contests and theme days and so on... I will eventually get to that! I appreciate the help Woody!
No problem, your post is valid for upvotes (money earned) for seven days. after seven days your earnings show up in your wallet. Interact and have fun :)

Welcome to Steemit Keith :)
Listen to Woody... and remember that upvotes here are not like FB likes. Don't waste them.
Thank you... I don't know what that means yet, but I keep hearing it! I'm afraid to do anything in case I break something! :)
Limit yourself to around 10 upvotes a day
and how about resteems?
You will not break anything :) You will just loose some powers ;) The upvotes (likes) take away some of your Voting Power. It regenerates itself, but in the speed of about 10-11 votes a day. So that's it. If you vote like crazy you will spend it all and it will take days to get it back.
There is no limits for resteems.
Thanks, I've got that now. Appreciate your help!
Anytime :)
There is a lot t learn here!
Hello Keith, and welcome to Steemit from a fellow photographer. :)
Thanks so much for the welcome! Followed
The Number 1 rule is to enjoy yourself. Follow that rule so you wont have to run into Rule Number 2: Never quit!!
Seriously there is a lot to learn here, but that will come with time. Before long you will be helping the newbies. If you have any tree pics, feel free to post to the #treetuesday tag. You can also drop the link on my post for added visibility :)
Thank you, I just made a post for treetuesday :)
