I`m on Steemit - My verification post + treasure map.

I`m Jan Oliver Koch, a travel and adventure photographer. I´ve joined Steemit to tell the stories behind the pictures I usually take.

I´ve been asked to post a verification photo. And here it is. To make up for this terrible photo quality I`m adding two bonuses to this post.

  1. I`m standing in front of a map of South America dating back to 1859. Let´s call it a treasure map.

  2. The pictures I usually take are carefully planned shots, where not just the light conditions but also the framing of the picture is thought through. So here, we have a demonstration of how not to take a picture: Bad lighting, use of the front-facing low-megapixel camera, but at least the horizon is aligned.

For all of you, looking for great content, one of my favorite recipes for good photos:

Epic location + last light of the day + unique feature (aka the car-lit road)

If you´re into photography, travel, nature and adventures. These were my two first posts, explaining how I got into it - full time!

Forgive me for my rookie mistakes, I´m new here. Really love hearing all your feedback and will highly appreciate help learning how to get good at this.

On Steemit, I´ll be sharing insights from my adventures, glimpses backstage to the life on the road or better - far off the roads. I´ll be sharing my photography knowledge, pictures and stories. Chase your dreams, I´m chasing mine!

Yours,

Oliver

Velommen til Steemit!! Jeg håper å lære noen fototips fra deg.

Excited to see your adventures mate! I'm a big traveler so can't wait to see what you post!

Hello, my new friend, thanks for the comment! I´ll be posting tons of travel footage, as this is what I am most excited and passionate about as well.

Welcome To Steemit Oliver,

Looking at your Instagram you seem extremely good at what you do. I can only imagine the time it took to pull off such shots.

When it comes to photography, I am terrible. But we all have our own different sets of skills. Mine is numbers, Anyways, I do apologize for being random. I am also somewhat new and one moment I was browsing through Steemit, The next I am here.

Goodluck on Steemit, I believe you should do rather well. Quality content usually goes a long way.

I gave you a follow to see life through the eyes of a photographer.

Thank you for such a warm welcome, Sir! I`m new to the writing, not so new to the photography. Thus I thought to collect the stories behind the shots on here. Hope you´ll enjoy those. Thanks for the follow, the compliments and comment! Hope to keep in touch!

Besides a very posh name, you've also brought along a beautiful photo. Welcome to Steemit, my friend. Do we have a budding Ansel Adams here? :)

Thank you for the very warm welcome. I wasn´t as involved in choosing my name as I might have liked to, but I chose my career, and Ansel Adams is truly someone I could only look up to. A true and massive source of inspiration.

Nice to meet you Oliver, I'm also new here :D You'll do great I'm sure! Best of luck.

Nice to meet you too! I´m very happy to meet new people, not just on here, but always ;) but especially once we´re both new on here.. it´s good to learn from each other!

Welcome and Steemit on!

Thank you! I`m as ready to go as I can be! :) Hope to keep up the quality.
