I am also considering returning to photography because of Steemit.
Steem Bounty mechanics are easy. After you send the money for the bounty, your post appears in Steem Bounty webpage
At the end of the reward period of 7 days, the rewards are distributed proportionally to the voting power that you used to upvote every comment. Upvotes by other people also affect the reward but the effect is much lower.
The fees for using the service are:
Bounty fee of 5% if the bounty has been created via a transfer
15% Reward share of the bounty post and 0 fee on the bounty itself if the bounty has been created via our website

Thanks for that @ropaga! I feel like I've got a good handle on Steem Bounty now. I had a look through some of the posts they were paying out on, and that helped me visualize the process. I have to say, I really like the concept, especially for someone like me who doesn't have a very big upvote... it's been a really great way to bring new people to my post... so I'm very thankful.
I hope you post some photos! Check out the @photofeed account if you haven't already... their resteems are just incredible!
