in photofeed •  7 years ago  (edited)

PhotoFeed is a project spear-headed by @jrue, @aweber, @yumyumseth and me that aims to improve the experience of those who want to see beautiful professional photography on steemit.com

We've been running the photofeed project for about a month now and here is a little project update to tell you where we are at this point in time in the development of a community for high-quality photography on the steem blockchain.

Recap - Why participate to #photofeed?

We run a curation trail (backed by my upvote at 10% after 30minutes), a daily and weekly round-up post backed by my 100% upvote after 30minutes as well as 5 resteem per day backed by 30% of my upvotes. If you want to know what my upvote value is, you can check live here: https://steemworld.org/@cryptoctopus

To participate to the curation trail and fanbase, please sign-up to steemauto.com

Our goal is to make it profitable for photographers and curators to have a great tag for browsing high-quality photography (#photofeed)

I'm amazed about how much SBD has been allocated to this tag in only a month! We are not quite up there in the top 10 but with dedicated effort and more photographers getting onboard, more people following our curation trail, I'm sure we will be able to it a better experience for people who enjoy beautiful photography.

Conclusion

Wow within a month of time this project made this huge success! I have a suggestion for you! Like dmania.lol project does, isn't it better to launch a web site for this photofeed project? I think it might help and while we uploading the photography the system can check whether quality of the photography as well.
Congratz for the success of this project!

Cheers~

Holy mother of payouts!!! 70 friggin' thousand SBD in about a month has been paid out!!! This is ridiculously awesome!! Just goes on to show we have some great photographers here on steemit!! This might just become a real big thing as more photographers outside the crypto universe finds out about this!!

I'm no photographer, but I have enjoyed your blog for a very long time which is why when i found out about this initiative you took, I have been trying to spread the word out to as many photographers as I could here on steemit. Might start doing this to outsiders too!! Great to see this tag grow!!

Network Violence

What do you mean?

Honestly, just keep doing what you're doing. I have a friend who has signed up for Steemit and hasn't posted yet, but I think with the continued success of this feed, the more likely he will be to start posting and contributing some of his awesome photography. Keep up the great work of making the "photography" feed great again.

Oh yes, the #photofeed is an excellent opportunity for people who are engaged in quality photography! The fact that there are many participants and statistics on the project is constantly growing, speaks of the growing popularity and demand among the admirers of photography, this of course merit you personally and your team! You asked us how to make the project even more popular, my friend and I thought, can add more contests on the themes of photography or for example a rare photo, etc. Thank you @cryptoctopus

I am not much good at photography but get to see so much of nice pictures under this tag, that's a wonderful effort to encourage the photography. Nowadays I started taking pictures where ever in think the nature is at its peak or anything that touches my heart and makes me happy.

Keep the great photos coming. @photofeed always get my vote.

This is wonderful stuff @cryptoctopus We need more projects like photofeed to help and grow those Steemians who have something valuable to share with the community!

Thx so much for this great initiative and providing the statistics. this proves that it is a great success!!

Photofeed is awesome! I'm not much of a photographer myself, but I'm following that closely.

Seems to me #photofeed is really getting the top of the bill best photos from the Steem community, keep it going!

May we send SBD to you, to upvote us, my friend

You may

Oke boss

@cryptoctopus - Sir anyone wish to see quality photography, they must not forget to visit #photofeed tag... Moreover, due to your involvement, this tag is changing lives of professional photographers... Sir this is a valuable idea & figures you shared here are remarkable... Wish you more success Sir...

+W+

Nice, I occasionally stumble upon great photography, but until now, I've had to rely on photo contests to find consistently high quality photos. I appreciate the effort put into @photofeed and hope that it will continue to evolve in the positive way we have seen until now. As for how to expand the community, I believe resteems and shoutouts are still king.

Hi @cryptoctopus, that's an awesome stats, in just one month, the project has achieved 1510 followers, 4,353 posts with 69,524.715 SBD payouts. That's a humongous achievement. Not to mention all the professional photographs produced by this new tag. When looking at the quality of those photos, we can't imagine how important this project was. That is to credit those talented photographers that produced top quality photos with super composition. Kudos to you and the team @jrue, @aweber, @yumyumseth for making the project really shine among others.

impressive stats in a month of time. i'm suggesting to make a bot to upvote & web site to upload photography. weekly competitions & the winners get your 100% upvote. @cryptoctopus

@resteemia

Photography is one of the most popular tags on here so it is not surprising the results you are having. It is always a genre that is tailor-made for the blockchain.

Photographers are the epitome of content creators yet had a very tough time monetizing their work. Many had to do things such as shooting weddings and such to earn a living. Just snapping a few high quality photos netted very little. Once in a while some payment would come in off a site that business used for marketing purposes, but that was rare.

It is terrific that you are getting more exposure for these people and rewarding them for great content.

thats great to hear this that only in month @photofeed have many coments posts followers and the big thing that the up to 69k sbd allocated by @photofeed tag and the more good thing that here we see the best quality photos which photography tag lost and hope this tag will much help and motivate to all professional photographer and your encouragment for all who participate in this tag is exellent work ,,
hope afte some month @photofeed tag will more famous and successfull tag whihc will have much attraction for all photographer

@photofeed I love it because it makes my hojos meet places ingeibles in photographs, I would like to implement a basic course of photography in the future and so better in our shots of every single moment where we find.

I'm excited to see how the project has gone in just a short time, with this amount of cash out, I must tell photographers are having a nice time on the steemit blockchain.
I think many more people need to join the trailer even if the voting weight is set at a low percentage, the collective upvote will mean more to the photographers and community at large.

Does the pictures need to be taken with a camera or does a smartphone works fine?

Great job @cryptoctopus a lot of photographers have earned their deserved payout due to this initiative and lots of quality photographs have been highlighted.

I had cut out all my curation trails due to issues with using too much SP. I might should pick this one back up though. Looks like I could rake in some serious SP if I manage vote strength properly. It may be easier now that I have more SP delegated to me and can divide my votes smaller without hitting the "vote dust" threshold.

Photography was always a joy, and this makes me want to get back in to photography again, but I don't even have a camera anymore. (old slr takes film, not digital) Some day.

That's a good idea. First we had dlive, dtube and dsound and now photofeed, i am sure these kind of steps will boost the motivation of all the steemit users and encourage new members to join Steemit.

well good to know this photofeed is working good and many professional photo graphers now use this tag and really amaized and excited to know that how much SBD has been allocated to this tag in only a month and totall payout is 69,524.715 SBD which is really a big digit
i think you should make some contest in photo graphy tag and have a big weekly or monthly prize to 1st 2nd winners who participate with thier best photos ,,sure this thing will attract more photographers in this tag
you can decide whats type of contest you will have for photo graphers @cryptoctopus

Great project!

I already followed photofeed. I’m looking forward to receive the benefit of this trail.

Happy Valentines 😊

Cheers 🍻

Great project i sign in steemAuto..I am very motivated to participate in this photography contest and why not I am going to buy a professional camera

@cryptoctopus, would be nice if you can consider giving tips to folks like us who would like to start out on the journey to professional photography or do you have something of such already?

Then, i would like to know if photofeed is only for professionals?

Thank You

@Photofeed is providing true value to pro photographers otherwise we fed up to see boring less quality colorchallenge and b&w challenges. Thanks for making photography great again on steemit.We are expecting some great photo from Cinque Terre by you.

Wow, how come I never knew about this tag and my picture contents have been going to waste . It's great that I know this now, atleast I now know the tag to use when I created photography contents on steenit.

Proficient picture extremely made an extremely awesome challenge

You are an exceptionally effective individual

Consistently you are fine on the event of Valentine's Day

Those payouts! My goodness! I had no idea!

Personally I have to thank you @cryptoctopus, along with @aweber, @yumyumseth and @jrue for helping me get going here on Steemit. You've given me a tremendous leg up, and at this stage something more important: tangible proof of the possibilities for photographers on this network and the confidence to carry on and come up with new endeavours to help build up the creative community here. I can't rave enough about #photofeed. Thank you so much for what you guys are doing!!!

Definitely You great. Your suggestion all right, Definitely Our goal is to make it profitable for photographers and curators to have a great tag for browsing high-quality photography.Thanks for sharing this post.

Awesome photography
Photography is an art and every one is not an artist
You are doing Good Keep it up

Good one! I 'll suggest you get more freelance photographers from here. At least we have people from all around the world. They can capture beautiful pictures and send to you through discord.

Professional image really made a really wonderful contest
You are a very successful person
Every year you are fine on the occasion of Valentine's Day

I have quite recently enlisted to Steemauto yesterday. I will endeavor to take an interest #photofeed venture! A debt of gratitude is in order for your help, all the best.

This is phenomenal! I should by one means or another missed the presence of this tag! I've bene searching for drawing in photography for a long while o steemit now.

Photofeed is magnificent! I'm not a lot of a picture taker myself, but rather I'm following that intently. Appears to me #photofeed is truly getting the highest point of the bill best photographs from the Steem people group, prop it up.

Intriguing undertaking! Photography is one of the regions with more potencial to develop on steemit. I have a companion who is a picture taker, I will instruct him to look at your tag and take a stab at posting there some of his best photographs @cryptoctopus
thank you

Great work with all of this, it's amazing how fast the photofeed tag took off, it must be the most popular photo related tag now in such a short space of time!!

I am especially content with the #photofeed that is possessed with photography, this is an unfathomable wander. Despite our photo takers can participate, what's increasingly the world can in like manner watch the distinctive brilliance and photographic works from around the world are appeared in this steemit.

very nice view of friends, please visit my friend's blog

Hey @cryptoctopus everybody does not get so good payout but I think people are just seeing your payout they are not seeing the hard work that you put while writing such interesting articles great happy for you bro wish you all the best hope you reach new heights

EXCELLENT

NICE

successful project! more talented people will be found. upvote and resteem

It's really amazing photography. I like it and i appreciate you. Keep it up. Wish you avery happy and bright future.

another beautiful click @jrue, @aweber, @yumyumseth and I guess its 2nd time in a week I am upvoting and resteeming your photography and trust me you earn it. thank you for sharing, cheers...

That's a mighty fine picture you have there!

Agreed

amazing post

Amazing post to you as well!

Those 3 guys must be funky fresh

This very nice post.. i appreciate your photo feed thanks for sharing this update post.. Best of luck my dear and happy valentines day friends..

this is very good opportunity of photography lovers, I also people who like natural photos
thank you

This is such a bad ass shot!

Great picture !!!

Thank you so much for this project. You guys have featured 3 of my shots and the payout has been equivalent to about a years worth of my print sales at deviantart. That is kind of nuts to think about. I honestly just about gave up on trying to monetize my photography or grow my brand prior to joining steemit. I hadn't posted a single shot anywhere on the internet 6 months prior to joining here. I would gain some traction on other platforms and maybe license a shot for a magazine here and sell a small print there but it never really added up to much. I am still a long ways from being able to support myself with photography but steemit has renewed my energy around the subject and has given me hope that it might actually happen one day. I am excited to see this project and community grow along with the entire steem platform. Please just keep doing what your doing!

Also @cryptoctopus do you have a witness server? I voted for you regardless and I think you should set one up and promote yourself to the photofeed community. A witness vote is the least we can do to give back. Your voting power is going to a lot of very deserving minnows who create good content but can't possibly pay you back, this means you are putting the overall network ahead of your personal success and I can't imagine a better reason to give someone a witness vote.

Very nic post.

Had to #tweet this wondeful blog!

You guys seriously rock. And thanks @cryptoctopus for showing some love to my work!

This is the great chance for steemians. Good idea for contest. I am not a professional photographer but I want to participate in this contest.

Hi there. Good post, thanks for the info, it is important to inform the people about the future plans and ideas!

This is amazing idea, you guys always make this community a very interesting place to be, am beginning to think of going into photography, lol,because your post just caught my interest, am very happy for having people like you guys in this platform. Am still learning here, i look forward to the time i can contribute my own quarter. Well done. Thumps up

Wow.. the best very nice view is amazing

Mr.cryptoctopus

This is fantastic! I must somehow missed the existence of this tag! I've bene looking for engaging photography for quite some time o steemit now. Do you also have a discord channel or other resource for photographers to mingle?

I am very happy with the #photofeed that is engaged in photography, this is a great project. In addition to our photographers can participate, in addition the world can also see the various beauty and photographic works from around the world are displayed in this steemit. Success for this project.

Wow. This is a wonderful initiative. All HD pictures in one gallery. Nice one. And that kind of achievement with in n a month...

Good job @cryptoctopus and the whole team.

Thanks for introducing photofeed. Haven´t heard of the tag before but I love the idea! Btw incredible front picture !

I'll be showcasing some of my photos especially on food. How "professional" would the photos be in order to qualify as such?

use #photofeed and if you think they are good photos, put them there :-)

hahahahha

I am definitely starting to use the #photofeed tag too, hope my amateur shots counts
