Angie, I think #2 is the rea winner in this second batch of photos. The detail on the petals is what stands out to me.

Aw, thank you! My big regret with that photo is cutting off the bottom of the petal. Thank you!

I would think the hardest part is always promoting yourself. Also, what type of games would you be playing?

I think the best thing to do to start is play games that allow yourself to interact with the chat. Ive been really into The Binding of Isaac Rebirth for awhile and am pretty good at it. But I know that would be hard to compete for views with other streamers that are so popular like Cobalt Streak.

I dunno, I think its tough to just play whatever you want to play unless you're already a big name and know the people will come to your channel, regardless.

I would recommend trying to get into as many betas as possible and streaming those. Along with forming a group of people that play similar games and can talk each other up to viewers.

Those are two really good ideas. Thanks. You can be my first subscriber!

I've been playing more with the settings in my phone's camera and all the filter settings on Instagram over the past week. Starting to see how I can control my images more to show what I want. Thanks for the inspiration, however large or small scale this may be or turn out to be, photography folks!

I haven't looked into any, but I know that iPhone (and I would guess Droid) have some apps that allow you to adjust aperture, ISO, and so on over your phone's camera!
