Pixabay Curation Magazine // Breathtaking Landscape Photography by kordi_vahle & jplenio // Issue 2
There's no shortage of good quality landscape photographs on Pixabay. Today I've chosen what are, in my opinion, some of the most stunning pictures of beautiful, stretched-out landscapes that I could find on Pixabay. The following photographs, made by Pixabay members kordi_vahle & jplenio, are perfect examples of professional grade public domain images.
Artists featured in this magazine will receive a donation equal to the Steem Dollar portion of the post rewards after 7 days. You can find out more about this initiative by reading the introduction post.
Kordi_vahle has a great collection of pictures featuring the Italian Dolomites on her Pixabay profile. I'm amazed at how well they've captured the reflection of the mountains against the water in that second picture. Looking at some of her other photos, she has put a lot of time and effort into capturing the Italian Dolomites throughout all different seasons. I am sure that her work could be very useful for anyone wanting to use them commercially or for education purposes.
When you check out her Pixabay profile, you can see that her photographs have been downloaded over 600.000 times. She has also received an editor's choice award for 7 of her pictures. She's been a Pixabay member since March 2017 and has uploaded a whopping 524 photographs since then!
This sort of landscape photography is a bit different than what we saw before. These pictures have a much warmer effect, which goes well with the fogginess of those landscapes. There's a certain kind of mystical feeling to these photos, of which I'm personally a big fan. Do check out his other work, because he focuses on so much more than only landscapes.
Johannes Plenio is a Pixabay power user, whose pictures have been downloaded more than 2 million times! He has received an editor's choice award for 84 of his pictures. What's even more amazing is that Johannes has only been a member of Pixabay for 4 months! He's a very talented photographer and a stand up guy for releasing his work in the public domain.
Nice collection. The images are beautiful. The style is different but both create very colorful images.
Yeah, I had a tough time picking artists for this one, just because there were so many. Don't want to feature more than 2 artists in each issue, because they'd receive a smaller donation.
These photos are simply amazing. Like you I'm getting quite a kick out of giving back to the worthy, it makes you feel good doesn't it?
Oh yeah it does, can't wait to reach 100 dollars or so in donations :)
Firstly, i want to thank you @daan for the great work you have done to find this amazing pictures. More so, i really appreciate the hard work of the people that captured these pictures, they have done a great job.
Nice write up and much respect to those that were highlighted. The pictures are beautiful. Makes me want to visit Italy even more! Thanks for doing what you do @daan!
Lovely images. Certainly talented photographers on pixabay. U&R
These are lovely pictures. I use pixabay sometimes for my post image. But these are just beautiful.
Great project idea @daan. It will not only pay them, it will get them intrigued about steemit. Nice.
I actually like finding pictures in Pixabay, it's so much easier to find the ones I like, amazing...
