I am an amateur photographer. Many of my photos are amazing. I have an eye for landscape photos of mountains, hills, trees, bridges, trails, birds, and animals. I tried using a more complicated camera, but learning how to use it was not my thing. It was more complicated than I thought it would be. I was not interested in learning how to properly use a complicated camera.

Therefore, I stick to using my cell phones. I used to have a Samsung Note, but now have an Iphone 13 pro max. These cell phones take great photos. Almost as good as an expensive camera set. I have had people tell me I should watermark them. I don’t even know how to begin doing that.

I have hundreds of wonderful landscape photos and photos of animals that I use as desktop wallpaper and screensavers on my own laptop, and I thought how neat it would be to share them with others. Many of you have seen some of my photos right here on Medium. I try to always use my own photos with my articles whenever I can. The only downfall of Unsplash is that I can only upload 10 photos per week. Shoot, I take 500 in one day.
