100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 20 - Weekly Photography Challenge #3
The second Photography Challenge was just as enjoyable as the first to curate.
It was fascinating to see the wide variety of ‘favorite possessions’ that people posted for the challenge - almost 70 entries in total.
People seem to be enjoying the challenges so we are back with number 3.
The Weekly Photography Challenge #3
Again this photography challenge is open to everyone - whether you are a keen amateur with an expensive camera or someone with a smartphone that just likes to take photos to share with their friends.
We are aware that many people around the world may be restricted in where they can go or are maybe still on full lockdown, so we’ve again made the topic for this week’s challenge easy to cover from your own home.
The theme for this week’s Weekly Photography Challenge is…
Fruit and Veg
This could be anything - fruit and vegetables you have bought from a store, or produce you have grown in your garden or window box, or even a tin you have found at the back of your cupboard.
You might also want to link it in to this week’s writing challenge on ‘My Favorite Meal’.
See how creative you can be in photographing the fruit and veg. Maybe try some unusual angles, or get in real close.
Maybe even keep us guessing…
Take as many photographs as you want, in colour or black and white, put them in a post and tell us briefly why you have chosen the particular fruit or vegetables.
The posts can be in any language. The photographs must be your own.
This challenge will run until next Tuesday 28 April.
During the week we will be looking at all the posts and rewarding as many as possible with upvotes from the 1 million SP @steemcurator01 account. The best ones will get 100% votes.
Make sure you include a link to your post in the comments below and include the tag #photographychallenge03 on the post.

Casual Posting
@whatsup is canvassing opinions on ‘casual posting’. Do all posts have to be ‘quality posts’ or can we just post for the fun of it...

Good morning team!
I think they do a good job in these historical moments, that they are lived in all parts of the world.
Trying to write something every day helps my mental release, but it also helps me the feeling that you can be useful in anything, and that is what your challenges, accessible to anyone, achieve in me.
It is a warm effect and little by little it makes me gain confidence in this platform again. Thanks Steemit team.
Keep up the good work for the massive use of the platform, they will take Steem to the MOON!
I find the support for @donatello and his contest wonderful.Thanks for the mention!
Keep up the contests @donatello
Creo que hacen un buen trabajo en estos momentos históricos, que se viven en todas partes del mundo.
Intentar escribir algo todos los días ayuda a mi liberación mental,.....................
cierto
Thank you for your support and for the translation.
Glad you enjoy the challenges.

Hi there,
this is my article for the Vegetable Photo Challenge:
https://steemit.com/hive-148441/@chriddi/observation-of-my-growing-vegetables
I would like to take this opportunity to explain why this is the second time I am participating in one of your challenges, although I am not a proponent of challenges.
No, I do not like challenges very much. I prefer users to implement their own ideas as soon as they get an inner impulse, when they become creative on their own. A colourful mix of different contents makes reading on a blogging platform much more interesting for me.
Nevertheless, I'm taking part again now to show you that I think it's very good that Steemit Inc. seems to care about the community. In the past, Steemit Inc. has very rarely shown itself to the "simple foot soldiers" and so I gladly accept your initiative as an offer of cooperation.
But challenges, the lure of high votes and the search for curators cannot and must not be everything.
Some hive fans claim that Steem is dying because all good developers have left. I can't imagine that. Of course some important developers left Steem, but all of them? I can't imagine Mr. Sun wants to keep the company all by himself, he certainly has a strong team behind him.
And that makes me curious: Who are you? Who do we communicate with when @steemitblog or @steemcurator01 answers? Who acts "behind the scene", who are the employees of Steemit Inc?
I would be very happy if you would introduce yourselves and your specific tasks within the company to the community.
So here is another suggestion for at least one day of #the100daysofsteem:
Introducing the Steemit Team!
Best regards
Chriddi
Good question. I wonder if @justinw is still part of the team? I wish him and @elipowell all the best!
And yes, it would be very interesting to know if new developers joined/will join Steemit, Inc.
P. S.: what about to include @steemchiller in the official team of developers? :)
Thank you :-)
Who knows? Even as a "lone lone fighter" you can work with others and then create something big as a team, so to speak.
Apart from the tireless work on SteemWorld, I admire the fact that the Chiller remains true to its principles, even after hostility. I think that is the key to success, which I grant him from the bottom of my heart. Moreover, an entire article from the honorable @afrog is dedicated to him, who is now quacking again on more confident paths through the area... ;-)
You and your little family have a nice weekend,
warm regards
Chriddi
Thank you for entering this week's 100 Days of Steem Weekly Photography Challenge.
The 100 Days project is managed by the team at Steemit led by @elipowell, with assistance from members of the Tron Foundation.
We hope to post more about the team soon.

With pleasure!
Thanks for answering - you're connecting well with the community, I like that.
Greetings,
Chriddi
It would be great to learn about the brilliant people behind Steemit Team. The Community will be very pleased as well.
The challenges are ideal for accounts in the plankton. It is a chance to write something knowing that a whale account will read and likely vote on.
The challenges are the only real source of income for plankton accounts on the platform.
The one problem I see with #photographychallenge03 is that the challenge is likely to leave the platform covered with Steemed Vegetables .
Thank you for adding my comment. I agree in principle with your arguments. A more differentiated view would fill an entire article, so please understand that I will try to be brief.
Yeah, that's right. In any case, the challenges are an opportunity to draw attention to yourself. And that's the most important thing: to be successful, you need readers who like your content.
On the whole, however, I also see this as a problem of the reward system. Why should content be "better" if a whale sees and votes for it? This is something I think we should work on.
And that is a great pity, because good articles should be the source of your income.
That's one reason I took part in the challenge - a kind of test.
I don't want to say that my articles are very, very good, but they are (and always have been, because I always make an effort) worth more than a "Hello, I found a golden monster card" from a whale with whale friends. As an advocate of good posts, I wanted to see how far @steemitblog and @steemcurator01 really perceive the texts. And I have to say: they are doing a good job.
Of course they can't keep it up in the long run and so I think the campaign to appoint curators for individual communities is very good. If these curators start voting "crap" just because someone is a plankton, the experiment fails. But we will see. We must wait and see and evaluate the development.
Besides, I don't think it's right to expect an income from Steemit. If you're not heavily invested, you can't get rich by blogging. And fraud, such as for example @haejin does, should not be an option at all. But I think we will also find a solution for this problem together.
This is precisely my criticism of every challenge. An apple is an apple, is an apple, and I think nobody will stick to Steemit because he is so happy about many apples. Always the same content in different packaging is boring. People have to stay because they come across interesting, individual articles, maybe they want to produce them themselves.
And here again the most important aspect for voting: The apple of a whale doesn't taste better than the apple of a plankton.
Warm regards,
Chriddi
