My Introduction - @JohnLastrado03steemCreated with Sketch.

Hello Everyone!

My name is John Patrick Lastrado. I'm new to this website.
This site was referred to me by @craftech.
I was amazed by how this community works, and decided to join immediately.

Some Things About Myself

For the past years, I have been really interested in photography, and have since then improved my skill in the art. My other interests are videogames, specifically Skyrim and the Arkham Series, or any stealth game in particular. I love to play the guitar and ukulele. As of now, I own a D5500

The Photographer/Explorer

I have been a photographer for 2 years now. Based on the standards of photography, I can consider myself a professional. Photography is a skill and job at the same time. It is a new way of expressing ourselves or path to intricate storytelling. Sometimes a photo is more than meets the eye. It can take very long to take just one photograph. I use Lightroom for editing to give it a boost in the story it tells. I may have an entry-level camera as the one mentioned above, but I have honed my skills enough to know how to use a light-capturing device well.

So fellow steemians I greet you today as a new member of this community!

Awesome. It is nice to do a verification. Look here: https://www.steemithelp.net/#/verification/

How to insert pictures? The best way is to use imgur.com. You don't need to sign up. Just save pictures to your PC, then upload to imgur.com, then you will need to wait for it to upload, then you will right click on the image and copy the "image address" or "image location" not image link. Then insert it into the image segment on the steemit editor. A guide is seen here: https://steemit.com/steem-help/@rodb/how-to-add-pictures-and-gifs-to-steemit-posts

I actually tried to add images, but the file size of my images were to big. I'll try to make the quality low so I can post it :)

Big is good. It will appear small when it is published

On my page I resteemed a post with free image editing options just yesterday. You should never have to substitute quality for size ;)

Thanks! It Really Helps :)

Welcome to Steemit @johnlastrado03!!! Glad to see you here bro!! :D
