RE: The Difference Between A "Post" & A Publication

in #steemit7 years ago

I often see wonderful original photographs on Steemit but most of the time with no text. Eventhough it’s totally OK, I feel like it’s missing something. Steemit is not Flickr but even on Flickr I used to write a description on how the photo was taken.

On Steemit I want to read more about the photo I’m admiring. Why the photographer took the photo of that subject, under that angle, choosing that time of the day? What did he feel when he saw the subject? Do I feel the same looking at his photograph? Why was he at that specific location on the day? Was it for the specific purpose of taking a photo of the subject? Or was the photographer just passing by and noticed a photographic opportunity?

Sort:  

I totally agree with you because we also want to know the character / personality of the photographer. It's like it doesn't make any sense when all you see is just a photo, right?! It will give more flavor to the photo when it has description, a story or logic behind that.

Exactly!

I passed by an amazing photographic opportunity today. Unfortunately I was with boss man on a mission so we couldn't stop to take the photo. Every inch of this one car had some sort of emblem, miniaturize figurine or statue, or action figure permanently attached to it. There was even all those things on the RIMS! oh well, hopefully I will see it again. I hear ya on needing more descriptions with photography on Steemit though. Thank you for your input homie.

You have great vision don't worry you'll be just fun and will find 1000 more great things to photograph for every one missed opportunity you happen to have occasionally!

I know that thing was crazy though!

Gotta love steepshot now you can post pics and have someone take a % too!

Ah their power sharing thing

No their taking a % of your post just to be able to use multiple tags past 5. Kind of silly just for a picture. I mean why wasnt instagram incorporated into facebook?
