Great Jon, I especially like the ones you've recently uploaded.
Great photos, to buy a broken S9 just to photograph shows commitment.
When you're photographing objects with straight lines so closely, do you need to adjust to prevent the lines from bending? It can only be done easily if shooting 'raw' I believe.
Is Bitcoin a category on this site? I see it listed in your interests, but not in the bottom list.
Thanks a bunch. The S9 was a bit of an expense but I also have plans to make some art with it once I am done with all of the photos I need.
As far as the straight lines are concerned, I don't really think I need to shoot in RAW. I just shoot in .jpg and everything seems to be turning out ok so far. Maybe I need to do some more experimenting with RAW.
I can only tag it how I want to tag it but I think the staff at Unsplash ultimately make the decision as to what shows at the bottom of each image. Since it's not blatantly "Bitcoin", I don't think they tag it as bitcoin. I think they will learn in time.

Hey again Jon, here's another Bitcoin image idea to explore (inspired by this really quite negative one):
Here's another Bitcoin image idea (inspired by this really quite negative one):
This photographer has gone to some lengths this is an obvious photoshop 'wallet' put into a phone. However, it's inspiring to see a creative 'wallet shot'. Not sure if I've seen too many of these.
We have very few people in Bitcoin shots. Itd be good to personalize Bitcoin. Perhaps using a lightning wallet to pay for items such as coffee? Coffee, wallet or logo emphasized or defocused would really make a playful shot with lots of info gently slotted in.
I believe I've recently heard of people making Bitcoin coffee stencils for the powder to go through on top of froth - that's a great idea for another, different simple shot too - subtly implying buying coffee with bitcoin.
Hope these might help.
