I'm Always Shooting
Once taking photos gets into your blood, you cant help yourself, you will always be shooting. To most likely the annoyance of anyone around me, I cant help shooting. I think this is largely because I enjoy posting, and having a library of random pictures is invaluable for use on Steemit.
Phone or Camera, Its All Good
I always prefer shooting on my Panasonic G7. For the money I spent on it, it has paid for itself many times over. However, I am still at times lazy about bringing it with me. I really am trying to get in the habit of taking it with me at all times, just in case. Yet even my cheapo phone camera will get the job done for posting on Steemit.
We Have It Made
I just am very grateful to have a platform to share my photos AND make a little too!!!!
I Encourage You to Spread the Word about Steemit

So much truth! I love having a library full of photos that I can share on Steemit! My phone takes good pictures, I'm just not very good at using it. I much prefer my Canon. These are all great photos! Tip!
Thanks for the support and the tips :) Back at you :) No one noticed I put it up on the wrong day lol.
You are so sweet! I have kind of given up on trying to keep up with the days, unless it happens to work for me. I do love Tree Tuesday, though. It's my favorite challenge.
I refused to respond until #SunThursday! :)
Okay, I didn't see it yesterday or I might have razzed you just a tad. Very little, but, it would have to be said. I lost my opportunity and will have to just watch you a little more carefully.
I don't have that many random shots as I didn't really get bit with the bug until tsu. Even then, they were only okay. So, sometimes I struggle with the quality of my shots. Forgiveness is needed some days.
The first one is so warm and inviting, it makes a person want to sit and witness the end of the day. Perfectly beautiful.
Have a great day, Paul. Every day is perfect for #SunThursday! :) tip!
Back at ya with a bit of a bonus for a great comment!
I know you didn't see it till yesterday coz you always check my blog last :(
I got the bug in Nov 2015 when I got my cam. I didn't spend much on it and have certainly gotten my money's worth of use out of it!
The tricky part is organization of the pics. I use a bunch of folders that I divide the pics into like "flowers" or "trees" or my favorite one "me" LOL (totally joking)
Thanks. TBH there are so many nice sunsets here on the lake, one can almost take them for granted. I always have an attitude of gratefulness for every one I see :)
Many thanks sent your way, for taking the time to make a decent reply and the awesome tip. (Thank you!) I don't actually check your blog last, although it may seem that way. I have no system or method. I hit my feed and yours nor anybody else that I remotely know shows up on it. How strange, no?
I have to go to each person's profile and go through all the resteems to find if they have a post for the day. Some don't. So, I have to go the next and of course, if someone comments on mine, the light comes on and shines in my eyes.... Oh, yes! Another one I forgot! So, never feel that way. I had one really nice man from Romania write really nice, detailed comments on my posts and I never commented on his because he never wrote any posts so I stopped looking. When I did look, I was mortified that he had been posting for weeks and he thought I didn't like his posts - so I didn't comment.
Long story short, I never have enough voting power to cover all the wonderful content out there. I feel like I am cheating people because. like you, you are so kind and thoughtful and I was at 33% voting power and tomorrow is #MarketFriday so I have to stop upvoting... well, I already did last night.
Anyway, you do have wonderful sunsets up there. My family had a house for the summer in the upper peninsula of Michigan and I, too have never taken this majestic beauty for granted. It is a gift.
Anyway, I know you were kidding, but, truly, I need a list to make sure I get everyone I need to see!
I hope you have an awesome night! Thanks again!
You are right, I was just joking around.
I find using Google Keep is an easy, quick answer to your friends list. Once the links are copied, they are available on all your devises. On my PC I keep Keep and Steemnow open all the time while on Steemit.
Hehe. I know you were kidding!
What is Google Keep? I have Steem Now, and honestly, I never thought of using that. Thanks! That is a good idea.
Its a fancy way to make notes or lists. You can talk, type, or jot with your finger. You can keep images or audio too. Then it is with you on your phone or PC always. I use 3 different computers and a phone and all have my favorite lists always updated. Its free of course and safe coz its Google.

Thank you! Happy FRIDAY! :) #MarketFriday
Golly you have some great sun/sky shots there. Can I ask what lake you are on?
Thank you. This is Vineyard Lake in southern Michigan
Figured there was more lakes in Michigan than the big one. Nice spot.
This is so very nice make one feel very peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for the nice visit :)

Yes I agree with that. I appreciate your visit.
I agree - once the shutter-bug has bitten you, there's no turning back ;)
Once you start you just can't stop!! You have a talent and some wonderful scenery! Looking forward to following you and enjoying your hobby! I'm sure a vast library of photos does help
Great shots. I like the 1st and 2nd photos the best.
First sunset is my favorite! Great shot
These sun shots are Wonderfully Beautiful! I am with ya on the can’t help yourself but to snap a shot every chance you get lol! My husband is very annoyed by this about me but he bares with me knowing I have a Steemit blog to keep up with. I find myself always looking for that great shot. It’s like in my nature and blood as you said. I am always on the lookout “naturally” for my next Steemit shot. 😊😉
Hi @old-guy-photos! You have just received 0.1 SBD tip from @dswigle!
@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment, get share of the profit :)I love them all, I also have that fever, stuck in the blood
Happt Friday to you! Your first image really caught my eye and then it was like popcorn popping in the microwave going down your post from one gem to the next (I love popcorn)! You definitely have a great setup between the lake views, sun, moon and nature @old-guy-photos I miss heading to the lake every weekend as we did when I was young. Mom and dad started with tents, then popup campers, next was a 32' travel trailer and then a double wide mobile home/house along with a fish & ski boat. Grateful for the memories... Seens like a lifetime ago.
Your kids enjoy all the outdoor activities, right? Is it too cold to swim niw? Asking because we're having 95°-97°F all week. Well, I need to scoot for now. Hacr a great day!🚣☉🏊🎣
OO! How right you are! I also can't stop. Others often do not understand. Often I look like a crazy ))) Passers-by look puzzled as I am looking for the right angle for the photo.))) But the opinion of others is just an opinion. So I go about my business because it makes me happy! I am very glad that I have Steemit where I can share my creativity, look at the work of others, to learn from the masters.
Some wonderful sunset shots there Paul, always a good time to catch a skyline. We had an awesome red sunrise the other morning - I would have loved to photograph it but running out into the street in my underpants would have probably got me locked up and by the time I had got dressed it had already gone -_-
Absolutely beautiful pictures! The first one is my favorite😊
