Unperfect Pictures

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone. The phone has a lot of great features, but the best thing is the camera. It is one of - if not the best camera out there on a smartphone. When I took a picture, I was amazed at the quality and detail of the pictures I was taking. You can zoom up to 100% and literally see the moon like it is right in front of you. Look at the picture above.

I have always loved artsy things, like taking pictures, creating blogs and websites and writing articles. Mostly as a hobby, but when I saw how amazing the pictures looked, I thought maybe I can start to take pictures as a side gig especially since I have been looking to earn some extra cash. This sounded perfect to me.

So I took some pictures and submitted them to some of the stock websites like Adobe and Shutterstock. The process to submit the photos is very simple and you add tags and title for each picture. I did not do any major editing to the photos, just very simple things as there is a lot to learn on this new camera of mine.

I was very excited and eager to have my pictures shared for the world to use and to make some extra cash. After a few days my pictures were reviewed and every single one of them was rejected!! OMG, to me they looked great but according to the feedback, they were out of focus or too much noise which I have no idea what that means. So I started to look up articles on creating stock photos. Turns out there is a lot more to it than pointing the camera and taking a great picture. 

Don't get me wrong, I would love to learn all about how to create the perfect pictures and maybe resubmit one day. But right now I think I am going to be okay with sharing my unperfect pictures. 

So let's all share our unperfect pictures and even share the meaning or story behind them. We all can't be professionals, but we can sure think we can!
