I feel very lucky to be here.
With my first week of @steemit under my belt I wanted to reflect on the days since I joined a little bit over a week ago. Looking back I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this amazing community by accident after research crytocurrenices on a little site called coinrankings.com
I had some Bitcoin from a while back and wanted to know what alt coins were after hearing about Etherium. On the site I notice STEEM. I thought what's that? I had never heard of it and after a quick Google search I knew I had to sign up, and that's what I did!
It took two days to have my account approved and after some research I published my first post. Since then it's been a daily activity in between spending time with my beautifully loving girlfriend - @photooftheday, work and travel. I feel extremely lucky to have an estimated account value of $572 USD (according to steemwhales.com) since I started nine days ago and I'm looking forward to the future on @steemit!
I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has commented multiple times and stopped by @myday to read all the stories and view my photos (and yes I did take all of them including this one). Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It truly means the world to me!

If anyone has any tips they would like to share where I can improve please let me know! I've been travelling for the last two days and only have my phone so sorry if I haven't followed up on joining groups that were suggested already. I plan on doing this when I'm in front of a computer with decent internet.
Are you a photographer or a traveller like me?
Use #myday to share your posts and let's see where this goes!
I'm Leigh, from Sydney Australia and through @steemit I'm seeing what its like to explore @myday. Not in any particular order, or particular time frame but just parts of @myday through my eyes and sometimes the cameras lens._

That is so magnificent! I couldn't afford to go on a whale seeing trip when I was studying as I needed to survive, pay rent, and pay for my tuition fees. Hopefully one day I can visit Down Under again and have this chance of a lifetime to see them!
Totally worth an upvote !

Thank you very much @littlenewthings you were one of the first active commenters here on my blog so I thank you very much for stopping by all the time! I was fortunate as a friend owns a whale watching tour business. I have been on his boat around four times for free. I said I would capture some photos for him and give him the best shots, including this one :)

That's so great! I know it costs a bomb to get onto a ride! And sometimes you don't even get to see them.
Did you get splashed?

Fortunately not in this trip @littlenewthings. The whale breached a fair way from the boat. I had my long lens pointing in the direction I last saw the whale and then all of a sudden it leaped out of the water. I had to be quite quick at taking the shot otherwise I would have missed the opportunity!
