Hello Steemians. Please let me introduce myself.

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hi, I am Brian Hill from Birmingham in the West Midlands, England. A single father to three awesome young men aged 21, 18 and 12. I work as a computer programmer for a software house providing IT solutions for private businesses and public services across the UK.

My main interests are photography and pretty much all things tech. I hope to be posting blogs relating to photography gear, editing techniques and of course, sharing my best photos with you. I also want to use this platform to broaden my photography knowledge by learning from other users here on Steemit.

My two eldest sons are already on Steemit, @branhmusic and @the3metrewrap. I can't believe their success in such a short space of time, which has made me very interested and excited to join this great community myself. It has made me want to find out more about crypto currencies and the blockchain. I am fascinated by the possibilities this technology could bring, particularly the decentralization of banking system - if this could happen I'm sure the world would be better place.

I am looking forward to learning and contributing here on Steemit

Thank You for taking the time to take a look at me and hopefully we will speak and share ideas together in the future.

Here's a picture of me so you know what I look like.

Another one of me taken this afternoon.

And here's three crops of the same macro photograph I took earlier this year. It was taken with my olympus E-M5II using the olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens. I used Zerene Staker and Capture One to process the 50 or so individual photos to produce the final image here.

Welcome Brian!! great to see you here! :)) Great to meet you and your son recently! Looking forward to seeing what he can do!
Also look forward to our first meet up in Birmingham on 16th Sept.
Check out my blog today promoting steemit in Codsall!! https://steemit.com/promo-uk/@starkerz/crazy-steemian-promotes-steemit-promo-uk-food-festival-wolverhampton-uk

By the way, I did not know you were a computer programmer!! do you think you could set up some blockchain tech? I have so many ideas for blockchain systems.

I use some quite old programing languages and know as much about blockchain tech as I learned by watching your Decentralize in 5 video, I also watched the more detailed link you gave, which were both very good.
I will take some time to find out more and it will be good to talk about your ideas when we next meet.

Cool! look forward to it!

Thanks for the warm welcome Matt.
Just had a look at your promotion day blog and looked like a fun day - enjoyed looking through the photos. Hopefully it will gain some steemit interest within the area.
I'm looking forward to the meet up in Birmingham on the 16th too. Regarding Brandon playing some songs, do you know whether the venue has a PA system we can use, or should we bring our own?

Hey Brian, They say they have everything!! and not to worry. I will be double checking with them so taht we cover all bases about 3 weeks prior to event. I am not a music / sound expert, so I may not be the best person to talk with them, if you would like, maybe I can provide you with the management's contact info so that you can discuss the more intricate details of the sound set up....?

Yes, please send me their contact details and I'll check nearer the time. Cheers

Hi @brianhphotos welcome to Steemit!

This is a great place with a great community
-- glad to have you around!
I look forward to reading your blog.
All the best...Also from England.

@evilplague

Thank You. Yes , it does seem that here, you can really connect with new friends in a positive way, whereas on other social media platforms you may just get a like or a view from an anonymous user.
Nice to hear you are from England. Don't know how far from Birmingham you are but there will be a meetup in Birmingham of steemit users - see the link below
https://steemit.com/meetup-uk/@starkerz/meetup-uk-birmingham-150-pounds-behind-the-bar-update
My eldest son will be entertaining the group, singing and playing guitar. It would be great to see you there.

Welcome here @brianhphotos :) Nice post, i will follow your account, please follow me!

Thank You.

Hi Brian! I'm from the opposite side, the East Midlands! Lol Welcome to Steemit, I am fairly new here myself and still finding my feet, so can't offer much advice, except to try not to get into arguments with bots 😂😂 it took me a while to realise I was being trolled by a bot and then felt really stupid when someone pointed it out to me! haha I'm sure you aren't as daft as me though. lol

Thanks for the warm welcome and advise. I'm sure I'll probably do some daft things on here too lol, until I've worked it out.

Welcome, I joined this week too, love your photos. Upvoted and following :)
