I'm excited to be here on Mastodon! Here's my #introduction - I'm a 5th Generation #Colorado native and have been doing full-time #photography for a while. I cut my teeth in photography while #climbing the highest 100 mountains in Colorado. I love #LandscapePhotography and co-lead an international photo competition - NLPA - we're dedicated to realistically edited #naturephotography. I am looking forward to engaging with everyone here, away from the cesspool that Meta has become! Cheers!

@mattpaynephoto
Welcome! These are beautiful. I noticed a number of photographers, particularly of landscapes, have joined/introduced themselves in the last few days. Is there a movement away from another platform? Your work will be much appreciated here.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from mizblueprint@mastodon.online
@mizblueprint @mattpaynephoto Yes, there's a small group of us that made the move about 6 months ago, and now another bigger wave has joined too. Mostly in reaction to the further degradation happening over on meta platforms. There's a nice community in landscape photography, so quite a few of us know each other :)

@murraylivingston @mizblueprint yes - this is exactly right

@mattpaynephoto @murraylivingston @mizblueprint probably a few more will trickle in over the next few days too!

@mattpaynephoto yay! you're here! welcome to the sane social media platform!
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from cmurray@cosocial.ca
@cmurray @mattpaynephoto Yeah Matt welcome to the sane corner of the Internet. Smart people are stepping away from the stranglehold the billionaires have on Big Tech.
This platform is incredible because you literally create your own algorithm simply by following people and hashtags. No AI/LLM garbage unless someone else gets faked out and posts something thinking it is real.
Your #photography is beautiful.

Wow, i love these pictures.
The first picture reminds me of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Ring-Movie, especially the scene when Frodo and Sam moved forward to Mordor. At the end of Part 1?

@mattpaynephoto welcome to the Fédiverse 🤗
Will you be using a "photography" account on a pixelfed instance too in addition to your Masto account, or just keep it stupid simple and use Masto for everything Fédiverse/blog/internet ?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from politipet@piaille.fr
@mattpaynephoto ah, and I see on your website :
Follow and Engage with me on Social Media
Bluesky
Twitter / X
YouTube
Threads
So you have other non-fedi presence - in addition to your website.
Are you discarding Twitter any time soon (possibly via #HelloQuitX) ?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from politipet@piaille.fr
@mattpaynephoto re: Bluesky (or Mastodon, for that matter) did you consider using a single account (on either network, but likely Bluesky) and bridge it to the other network with Bridgy?
