Steemlight Issue 6.0 - Up Close & Personal

in steemlight •  7 years ago 

Steemlight, here to shine the light of Steemit onto some undervalued users, curation with a smile! This week we are going to celebrate the mixing of art and intellect on Steemit. Carrying on from issue 5.0, we have some great photographers for you.

So without further ado, let's dive right in!

What can I say about this blog? He's just an old guy who likes to take photos; simple as that!

If I follow a photography blog then I clearly want to follow someone who has a good eye, and takes photos of interesting subject matters. So we have a check and check for both of those.

Add to that this Steemian has a great personality that comes through in his posts, and I'm sure you'll enjoy as much as I did picking through his posts and reading what he has to say about his pics.

@brumest

Another really cool photographer here, it seems that she favours macro photography, with plenty of stunning close ups of flowers. However it would seem her other passion is taking stunning landscapes.

While trying to choose the highlighted post and the two pictures I would use for @brumest's spot in the Steemlight, I got lost in beauty. I seriously could have used ten of her pics here, please go and check her out and give @brumest your support.

I really look forward to her next posts, in my mind, perfect for a lazy Sunday of Steemit browsing. Oh and don't forget to check out her MonoMad photo comp, you will find many more people to follow there!

@papilloncharity

Jackal_Buzzard_720.jpg

As the name suggests this is a charity blog, however posts about the charity take second place to what is clearly a passion, in wildlife photography.

The owner of this blog has put up dozens of delightful posts on South African nature. It makes for a colourful and interesting page, and one that I know I will enjoy going back to again and again.

This Non Profit Organisation definitely deserves your support, so ahead over and throw them an upvote or two!

@stresskiller aka Mick Agterberg

Another photographer for you, and more stunning macro photography. I absolutely love @stresskiller's photo above of beech leaves with rain drops on them, the textures are just gorgeous.

It seems that @stresskiller takes his name seriously, because a few minutes looking at this photography will definitely kill any excess stress you have lying around!

@edward.maesen
afordite_feather_720.jpg

Edward is a fine art beauty photographer, with the emphasis on beauty. He seems to favour powerful, striking women as his subject matter. His work evokes strong emotion and a desire to just stare and consume.

He is a flexible photographer who takes parts in Steemit photo competitions, and I feel he is a valuable addition to our community.

I look forward to more of his fine art shoots, and hope to one day own a giant version of one of his prints.

Ah no worries; and sorry about the gender reassignment! I'll fix that when I get back, just gotta rush off now :-)
