How to tell a story through your photography

It’s not necessary to clean your lens each and every time. It should only be cleaned when it’s visibly dirty, and then only with a soft, clean cloth so as to not scratch the lens. Better a dirty lens than a scratched one!

Hi @Christina-NYC I really liked the idea

I want to share my story too.

During my last visit to California, I decided to spend one day on a bicycle ride.

After a long bike ride that took a whole day, I ended up in Sausalito. This is the city on the other side of the bay. So I decided to return to San Francisco by ferry. As soon as the ferry reached the middle of the bay, everyone on board felt the full force of the wind. But it was so insanely beautiful around that most of the passengers, despite the strong cold wind, went to the upper deck.

And here is my story, using a point of view of other people’s smartphones, and my camera. Feel the power of the wind and the waves, and the beauty of the sunset with me and these people.

Thanks for your tips. We do need to develop patience to wait for the right moment. Even though it took me 25 minutes to wait for the wind to kick in to take this picture, I love it.
