RE: 🎉 Congratulations to the Winners of the #VeganBurgerContest 🍔
Are you on Instagram? I'm not good at preparing food in a very attractive way either but I post my pictures nonetheless. :) Sometimes some bigger account comes to like a picture and then I realize those girls take more effort in the presentation of their meals. Food styling is something one can learn so please do not give up.
I'm living without a regular income so I know what you're talking about. I'm using an older smartphone also. Not for all of the pictures actually since I bought a medium prize digital camera 4 years ago (when I was still employed). There's nothing wrong with using smartphone cameras for near-view pictures.
One can buy equipment but not the heart for something. Have some patience. I know this sounds rude. But you need to give yourself time.
Thanks for your response isarmoewe. yes i use instagram but steemit like other social network platforms are rigged in the favour of ppl who buy their way to the top. everyday i loose followers because of their stupid algorithms. even tho i dont have expensive equipment. i still think i get nice angles and nice shots, look at my work and decide for yourself. everyone has their own style, i have mine.
dont mind being patient, i know these things take time but that still doesnt explain why the people running this contest completely ignored my entry (when they said they would upvote all entries) also when other people posted burgers of ones they merely brought from the a shop and they got an upvote?????*there is no social media justice you either create a clique where the same players all vote each other up and you pay your way.....which means already having the dollar to do that.
Hey! I know what you mean! I was also kind of sad when I posted awesome (that's what I thought) pictures and nobody seemed to care. My followers on Instagram love my pictures but here - almost nothing. I think we just have to be patient :D
But please don't think that I use professional equipment or something, I'm also a poor student, all I have is my smartphone camera, a stone plate and a picture editing software. And a few years of experience in taking food pictures 😁
Let's just not give up! I think we all agree that your burgers look amazing! 😋
Thanks for your support vegan vienna, i can see how u used the slate and editing software looks nice and you desrve to win (altho i would not eat the mayo, bread and sauce...to me this is not natural vegan). Still wondering why the people holding this contest didn't upvote when they said they would?
Well ok.. That's true.. They also didn't upvote my picture, probably they just forgot? They can still do it 😁
I mean, I wouldn't eat it every day since it has a lot of fat, but once in a while I think it's fine 😋😁
yea maybe they will for sure, thanks for ur motivation, i guess ontop of everything i got a stiff neck and back from all this computer work, editing videos takes a long time and adobe premier is quite a stressful software. lucky for u, u can eat that, but i cant eat anything processed made in a shop, i cant even go to a restaurant. this is why i may as well document everything im doing to make it more fun, its just when fun boarders stress and tears, one has to question?!
Well. I don't feel like blaming Instagram even zhough funny things happen to my account. I might have had 100+ followers a long time ago. Last weekend it was suddenly 105 and I thought "finally!" And then came Sunday evening and the number dropped to 96 again. I was upset at first but I don't feel like monetarising zhe page anyway.
Actually it is the algorithms of their platforms, they are not able to control, so it is kinda their fault, they are a business and want to make money, its their agenda. I'm sorry this happening to you. Anyone who is at the bottom of the food chain doesnt have a hope in hell, that's why we are here , right?
No, I'm not here for that.
I intended to comment to someone else. I did not know about contests.
i meant here on steemit to make money and get recognized. anyway thanks for info and support.
