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.
