Hey Steemit Community!

This is my first post on Steemit and I am really excited to explore and get to know this platform and to share my photography and timelapse art with you. I have a lot to learn, but I'm really excited about a decentralized blockchain community that helps reward us the content creators in crypto.

I'll be posting my art regularly, and I hope it brings some nature energy to you in this digital world we all spend so much time in these days. I also hope to inspire you to get away from the computer and the cell phones when you can and take time to get outside in nature. Please say hi and introduce yourself in the comments below, I look forward to getting to know you!

A little bit about me:

• I love the mountains and call California's Sierra Nevada my home.
• I'm passionate about the art of life, especially photography, timelapse, travel & growth.
• Living in, exploring, appreciating, and photographing nature brings me such joy.
• Blockchain technology & crytocurrency really excite me and I'm learning tons.
• As organic as possible food and a healthy lifestyle are important to me.

I hope you enjoy my photography and timelapse below, sharing and comments and upvotes are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Watching a shooting star & the moon under the Milky Way from Cathedral Peak in Yosemite.

Who else loves watching the sunset over the ocean in Big Sur?

I love hiking to incredible spots in the mountains, like Taft Point here in Yosemite.

The Dolomiti mountains are one of my favorite areas in Itay.

My first night in Fiordland National Park in New Zealand. Milford Sound blew me away.

Yosemite has some of the best mountain climbing anywhere on earth.

If you haven't checked out Arches National Park near Moab, it's spectacular.

The last light of the setting sun gives Yosemite's Half Dome a kiss of light.

"I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." ~ John Muir

This overhanging diving board in Yosemite feels like you're on the edge of the universe.

McWay Falls at Big Sur is one of the most beautiful meetings of land and ocean I've ever seen.

Timelapse has become one of my favorite arts. The combination of temporal distortion, grand nature, and the awe-inspiring night sky brought to life is so exciting. Check out one of my favorite films, Eternal Spectrum. If you'd like to see more of my work please check out my website: https://shawnreeder.com
