Hello Steemit people!

I'm new here and happy to become a part of this community! I'd like to introduce myself by sharing my passions and adventures that fill my life.

I'm in absolute love with the Universe! Everything about stars, planets and nature truly fascinates me.

I devoted quite some years to yoga practice in hope to explore my inner world. It worked in some way, but has brought up even more everlasting questions about my own nature. So I stepped aside at some point to see what's happening outside and was astounded!

I enjoy being outdoors in nature - sailing in the sea or wandering high up in the mountains is what makes me feel alive!

After living an isolated life on an island in Thailand for a few years I found myself in the Himalayas among those mighty giants under the night sky full of stars and couldn't be more grateful for what I got to experience.

As I was so overwhelmed with what I saw the desire to capture those moments and share them with others was a natural step to photography. Out of my trips I create impressions by still images and timelapses. Although I have a lot to learn, I have already gathered a lot of visual content which I would like to share here on Steemit so stay tuned! 👻

Usually I'm not up to taking selfies, but sometimes when I'm alone under the stars like on all night photos in this post I just can't help it ;)

Other two daytime photos were clicked by my husband @arthurgain

That's all for now, Steemians! And soon enough I will get back to you with my work!

Hello star.dust! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Nice to have you here and a little bonus tip for you:
The first thing you should do is comment on alot of blog's that you find interesting and that you have the most knowledge.
This will make you steem power grow, good luck :)

Thanks a lot for the advice, I will look into it!

Haha love how when you use introduceyourself you get all these automated replies. But hey as one of the first human responders. Welcome.

Did you take these pictures? They're great. If not make sure to credit and source all pictures not taken by you. I assume you did because you called them selfies.

They're great so I assume you do a fair amount of photography?

Thank you so much @jarvie for a warm welcome and being my first human responder here :)
Yes, these are all my pictures, the ones at night are all selfies and others were clicked by my husband so they are all my credit.
Thank you as well for the kind words about the pictures - yes, I do photography since a couple of years and will share my efforts here soon enough :)

Hello @star.dust! Welcome to Steemit! My name is @borges.barilla and I love curate content, especially when created by new users.

I really enjoyed your photograph. I am curious thou, how long exposure do you need to pick the starts like you did? Really nice compositions you created! Keep up posting your good work.

You just received an upvote from my side (~0.05$) hoping it will motivate you to keep producing valuable content and contributing to the Steemit Community.

In future, as you produce new content, type @borges.barilla in the comment from your own post. This will make me know you have added a new post, so I can read, evaluate, and upvote in case you produce valuable content.

In case you appreciate this effort, please follow me.

Great content from new users will be Resteemed.

See you around!

Hello @borges.barilla and thank you for your words and for the warm welcome!

The exposure time for this kind of images is usually anywhere from around 10 to 30 seconds depending on light conditions and the lens you use - in short, for the longer focal length the exposure should be shorter for pinpoint stars, with the wider lens you can expose longer without the stars creating trails.

All the best!

Welcome to Steemit! We checked out your Instagram and everything, and you'll fit right in here!
