Get rewarded for sharing
I have started rewarding Steemians who share their photos on a daily basis with upvotes and 'XP'. You can read more about this in the following two articles: this and this
Photography contests
You might know me from my two daily photography contests with exciting categories every day. These will stay the way they are. However, since photography is much more broad I want to add 37 new categories for which you will be rewarded with upvotes and XP. There are no contests running for these new categories. There is an overview below.
How does it work?
It is really simple start using the correct hashtags when you share your photography here on Steem(it). Twice a day you will receive an automated upvote by @photocontests and earn 5 XP per photo. As you gain more XP over time the value of the upvote will grow.
TL:DR Share & tag your photography for upvotes & XP
Monday: foodphotography and animalphotography
Tuesday: landscapephotography and cityscapephotography
Wednesday: architecturalphotography and vehiclephotography
Thursday: macrophotography and colourfulphotography
Friday: streetphotography and portraitphotography
Saturday: sportsphotography and smartphonephotography
Sunday: goldenhourphotography and longexposurephotography

Rainbows and lightning are something else :P
These additional categories are mostly so people can tag there photos while earning XP for upvotes. I will not be judging them, so in my opinion any hashtag that people feel fits best with their photo is oke by me

'forcedperspectivephotography' would be?
Not sure if it's the same, is that like manipulated perspective - as in edited unrealistically... Or heavily edited (but creatively, of course...)

In Hungary we put out bird feeding houses. With a bigger lens, you can easily capture them from the inside of your house. Or you could buy a reflex glass, so they won't get scared, if you are on the other side :) See this picture of mine of a Parus major

Maybe because I'm always in the lookout for them I tend to notice them more than the usual person and some of those shots were taken with a larger zoom. Hehe also, I think some birds don't mind the proximity if they know you can't get to them due to water or something in btetween

Aha, ye makes sense. Being aware makes you notice so much more, the same for other types of photography. Haha, ye or maybe they are just lazy and do not want to move until the last moment

portraitphotography, blackandwhitephotography (kinda almost all what i shoot), panoramicphotography, nightphotography (of course), silhouettephotography - yes, reflection - yes, tiltshiftphotography - sure right now i'm working on the night Lensbaby urban project, vehiclephotography-cityscapephotography-landscapephotography and some others !
thank you for the HARD work !

So if we have posted pics already past few days and want them included in this new format do we just add a reply with the hashtag they correspond to ? or do they have to be posted with them in the actual "tags" section? if we edit will that work ? sorry im a noob,
Also could you make the contests themselves last more than 24hrs? give us some time to get out there and take the pics.
