Great comment @tonywhyte. Your comment sounds so unique compared to the other comments I read. Actually you are a good writer so I expected something original from you. I like Steemit school but somehow this doesn't seem the way to promote it. Anyway, have a great day.

Seems a bit Spam botty to me.

Thank you for saying that. Two in a row is too much. Actually one spam is too much. Overdose of spam. You can always tell when they don't respond they are totally spam spam spam spam... Wonderful Spam!

@dreemsteem told me about your photography....I was hoping you'd post again so I could say Hello!

You are very talented and I'd like to see your work noticed more. I would suggest you use the tag #photofeed in your tags. Check them out @photofeed - they scour daily for photos and will resteem, upvote etc. There are some really friendly people you can connect with who will be supportive. You can edit your tags, just not the first one.

All the best!

thank you for your suggestion for @olivierc! :) Olivier - @countrygirl is one of my favorite steemie friends :) She is incredibly talented at photography and is always so encouraging (and funny too!!!) I hope that by using her suggestions, you can get some more notice!!! :) You can never leave Steemit, Sir.... we can't allow it ;)

and as far as your photo here.... I'm sure you know already what I'll say! hehehehe It's just heavenly! I can feel it tugging on my heart!

I can just imagine what kind of day this was! I feel like.... There was a woman who watched early that morning as her husband sailed away from the port. She stood on the shore, watching his ship become smaller and smaller until she could no longer see it. All the other wives had gone home. But she remained. Alone. Still connected to him by the sound of the ocean. She felt as though she could feel his heartbeat in every wave that touched her feet. As evening began to make its presence known, the sun scribbled a message of love in colors that spread across the sky. She knew that her husband was looking at the same brilliance displayed in the heavens, and felt his love.

So happy you're back, my friend!!!! :)

That was a touching read....................... After this i'm very glad to be back.
You touched me ! :)

:) as did you!

You remind me so much of Ann with an E. Your stories and daydreaming! aw...you are special.

hehehehe speaking of stories... TODAY. today is chapter 2. no matter what. i'm just gonna do it.

Hey countrygirl! I will try and use that #. Thx for your suggestion.

yes... and i THINK (maybe i'm wrong) but I think you need to use that tag as the first tag??? check with @countrygirl to be sure ;)

I'm not sure! ?? lol. I'm not Mattlock you know....I don't have the answers for EVERYTHING!

hahahahahaha i think the first tag is most important - and i think once it's set... it can't be changed. :) come on Mattlock! hahaha

That is a surreal sunset!
It reminds me of Bliskin Bay (It's where I sail from.)
Very nice photo indeed. I feel calm.

arghhhhh.... this be a fine comment indeed! tip! simple from yer beloved Capt'n

Hi @doctorcrypto! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dreemsteem!

Cool doctorcrypto. You must of seen many already ;) Great hobby.

What a wonderful capture - I wish to be sitting on the sand with a coffee in my hands, feeling the breeze on my face and blowing through my hair. Just at peace.

Peace be a lovely thing, Pirate @andysantics48. accept this tip! simple from yer beloved capt'n

Hi @andysantics48! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dreemsteem!

awesome. After experiencing that peace of mind for a while. coming back home with cold wet feet. Sand everywhere waiting to be cleaned up :) :) :) hehe. But it's worth it ! hell yeah. @andysantics48

Oh man!!! now I have to think about sand in all the wrong places hehehe - I need more coffee first!!!!

Incredible photographs! Captain @dreemsteem brought me here and thank you for doing so! Out of interest, (if you mind sharing) what camera do you use?

Would love to see some underground photography done by yourself. I'm a bit of vampire and like being in the dark 👿

A vampire pirate??? That's a new one! lovely to see you gracin' these shores, pirate @praada! please hide this tip! simple in yer purse!

Yahar I think you'll be seeing me underground soon enough 😉

We won't tell me other alter-ego. Just a secret between pirates....

You have one hardcore crew @dreemsteem

I do have some pretty sweet friends on here that i enjoy SO MUCH!!! but you're giving me way too much credit. LOL if i asked people to come to a post that was mediocre - they would have passed.

it was your PHOTOS. they just needed a little attention!

I'm hoping that this is the start of something for you! Once you get into the right channels - you'll be recognized for your beautiful work!

and did you see calumam's invitation?? that is the channel that i'm in most frequently :)
come join if you like! :)

I do not mind sharing :) The camera i use now is mainly a 7Dmk2. I also have a full frame 5Dmk2. They are both very good camera's ! Hmm underground photography. I should give it a try. never done that but i have an idea ... :)

oh wow nice investment! I'm sure taking photo's in the quality you do, you will make that money back on steemit in no time :)

hmm.... i doubt that. but i do hope i can inspire some. ;)

Don't doubt man, you have good contacts on here and will get noticed if you produce consistently good photographs. I have been on steemit almost 2 months and my account value (although dropping at the moment due to steem value, reached $440 in a little over the first month :) that's like 1/3 of your camera, I say one year you will be earning profit plus your money back for the camera :)

i visited Steemit long before actualy engaging into this community. I have almost no earnings so far But that's ok... I'll try to engage myself some more. But finding the time and keeping up with everyone's posts will be difficult... I guess.

you just need to find the right tag and make friends within it, you won't have problems as your photographs are brilliant.

The crash of the water surely brings one 'in the moment'. I've had my share of peaceful ocean bliss. Great picture hey.

Tis why I be a pirate.... the call of the sea is like no other! Bliss indeed. Glad that you be enjoyin' this port as much as I! a tip! simple to add to yer loot, pirate @enginewitty!

Single shot, you say. Really amazing , I agree with the HDR it is clear you did not since most people who try it or tend to fake it would have tried to increase the exposure on the water and it would just have just spoilt the authenticity of the scene. Amazing to see what I am going to assume does not look nearly as amazing in broad daylight be so transformed.

So glad that @dreemsteem and her treasure hunt brought this post to the BuddyUp Discord Server

Them be eloquent words and a fine appreciation for this port, pirate @penderis! I agree with the authenticity - sometimes, we need to just soak in nature with all her true beauty! @olivierc does a fine job. Makes me want to be there to enjoy it right now!
a tip! simple for yer participation!

I believe this image was made 30 minutes after sunset or so. I did underexpose for the sky and highlighted the shadows in Raw. If you try and nail the dynamic range... there is no need for 3/5 single images with different exposures. And how one could make a HDR from a moving sea. The sea would look very bizarre. :) hehe But just mentioning it ;) Thanks for your great comment @penderis

You encapsulate what photography is all about here. I have been hearing some amazing things about you on our server and the guys have been talking about your photography all day (for great reason!)

The colors are fantastic in this photo. The mixture of oranges and purples are so soothing and make for a brilliant photo. I've been looking at your other posts too and I'm seriously impressed. The 'Mirror, Mirror' post was just shown to me by @svemirac and he's right.. Wow!

I've just started to enjoy and get into photography myself and it's nice to hear your thoughts about why you take pictures and what they mean to you. It's inspiring and makes me want to get out and take more photos right now.

@dreemsteem shared this post with us in the @BuddyUP community. If you'd like to find us, you can visit our SafeLink post here.

aye!!! Mirror, Mirror took me breath away when I spied it too! @olivierc has such impressive talent. He's been kind to stay in steemit and dazzle me with his work, even though my vote has been so low!!!! I'm also hoping that the hunt and buddyup can bring some more spectators to view his incredible work @calumam!

@olivierc... You should definitely come visit in BuddyUP ! It's my favorite discord channel, and the community there is top notch!!! I'd love to get to talk to you REAL TIME instead of our long comment conversations hehehehe I'm so glad that you stayed. I know that your love for photography surpasses any monetary gain from steemit. And that's what makes your photos that much more special! Because I can feel your love of photography in them and I can read your heart in how you wait for the perfect shot! but.... if we can all come support your work and give it some monetary gain too..... that's a win/win in my book! hehehehe

and remember- the invitation is still open! I live in the mountains, and you don't have to wait for another trip to Germany to take that cool night sky shot. bring the family here! hehehehe)

thanks for you amazing comment pirate @calumam!!!! slip this tip! simple into yer boot!!! :)

you're to kind :)

my eyes are shutting now hehehehe so sleepy! we will talk again soon, friend :)

Awesome @calumam. If you have any questions feel free to ask. i'll do my best answering them. I'll check the buddyup group. right now.

I'll be following you and checking out your photography :) I'm sure i'll get loads of tips for you.

Aha. you sure will. i'm on the buddy group right now. I still have my introduction to make :) As i have not got many steem already. Thanks for inviting me Calu. :) thx

Yes! I love sunrises and sunsets. It's like a little dance the sun and sky does for us every morning and every night. Lovely picture~

for free :)

Shiver me timbers, there are days me unpatched eye sees such wonders t'behold and a universe so grand that makes me feel so insignificant a creature that ever trod this Earth.

It is... But here we are :) most of our times walking just by and taking it for granted. Even me often have days without interest in nothing. ... Human... strange beÏng and smart into a world of many fast things.

Just remember to take a deep breath now and then.

A deep one :) ;) is a necessity.

Colors in the picture are amazing! Are we allowed to know the name of the town it looks great. :)

Thx so much. The place called in this image is Ostend (Belgium). It's not that far from where i live.
