NFT have become very popular over the past year. I read a lot about them in order to understand what they were and how to produce them. There are several websites out where you can buy, trade and own them. Many have fees associated with either up front fees or after they are sold.

Minifigure Nature Photographer

I decided to make my own. I started with photographs then introduced my drawings and even made some videos. The videos are made of my photos or my drawings.

I signed up with several of the NFT websites but I like Mintable the best so far as I can list my NFTs gasless without fees up front. Mintable uses Ethereum or ETH cryptocurrency. It just recently added Immutable X to their NFT platform.

I am still selling my photographs as prints and not just digital NFT items. You can learn about my favorite kind of photography on my blog post.

Check out my Minifigure NFT that looks just like me as a Nature Photographer. I found this online one day and just had to buy it. It came with the camera and everything. So of course I had to take photos posing by the water.

Scroll down to see some of my favorite NFTs that I have created so far. You can see all of them on Mintable.

I started filming my drawings so I decided to turn them into a video NFT. Here is Headache Scribbles in Motion.

(function (w, d, s, o, f, js, fjs) { w[“Mintable_Widget”] = o; w[o] = w[o] || function () { (w[o].q = w[o].q || []).push(arguments); }; (js = d.createElement(s)), (fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]); js.id = o; js.src = f; js.async = 1; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); })(window, document, “script”, “widget”, “https://unpkg.com/mintable-widget/dist/index.js”); widget(“init”, { targetElementId: “mintable-widget” }); widget(“shownft”, { size:”full”,ids:[“videos/listing/HrVcoJKGiGOhSNV”,”art/listing/MHBgzYw75LNdF06″,”art/listing/uUt0oZaisx6IfAu”,”art/listing/OeyeBYc9aX6jjkh”,”art/listing/-N5-FFSDlf9W15e”,”collectibles/listing/RUgO1FCgMTtyTaS”,”art/listing/I9SlrYr9sEKmxQ3″,”art/listing/WgvJSt0S-lj16pZ”],fontFamily:”Lato”,backgroundColor:”#ffffff”,fontColor:”#2d2d2d”,subtitleColor:”#727272″,buttonColor:”#099890″,buttonTextColor:”#ffffff”,boxShadow:true });

Prints are my favorite way to view photos. I love photographing nature, landscapes, sunsets, beaches and much more. I experience peace being surrounded by nature. With prints, you can surround your home and office with all the beauty of the world.

“Prints are photographic or motion-picture copies, especially made from negatives.” – Merriam-Webster

I feel that everyone should see the beauty in nature so I capture it with photography. I believe that South Florida has so much to see on a daily basis that you can miss it as life passes. My work captures those places and moments in time. I feel that all other places have the same heart and soul as South Florida does. My dream is to travel anywhere and everywhere I can and take photos of all the places too.

With digital photography, you rely on viewing the photos on screens like monitors, tablets, phones, and laptops. It’s a great way to view lots of photos at once. But if you really want to enjoy the photos in a new, yet old way, print them. I say new because the photographs are not instantly printed or developed to be viewed like they were with film cameras.

You can see more photos at my website https://www.AnaGarciaPhoto.com. In the photo galleries, all the nature, landscapes, waterscapes, animals, etc., have the option to purchase as a print of any kind.

Photos that are printed can be enjoyed without the use of electricity. They can be in an album, in a frame, book, etc. Prints can be on paper, either lustre, glossy, or matte. You can also have them printed on metal, canvas, acrylic, and wood. You can have them in plastic sheets in a photo album or make a photobook.

I love the look of metal and canvas prints. Depending on what the photo looks like is how I choose the medium. The metal prints don’t need glass with the frame as it has its own look. The glass would take away from it. Just like canvas prints. They wouldn’t need glass with the frame either.

Prints of Driftwood in the ocean in the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida

All of these types of mediums work for home decor or office decor. Maybe you have a beach house or want your place to feel like you live at the beach so you want beach decor. I have my own photos as well as others work at my place to get that coastal decor look and feel.

I went on vacation to South Carolina where I took lots of landscapes, waterscapes and more. You can view a few here.

Everglades National Park is one of my favorite national parks to visit. It is the largest tropical wilderness in the United States. It is also the third largest national park in the contiguous United States. I love how I can visit the park without having to drive for too long. It is split with a northern section that you access through Miami or Everglades City and southern section that you access through Homestead.

I try to visit the Florida Everglades once a year, if not more.

I always take a camera or maybe two with me. I want to be able to capture all of its beauty like alligators, birds, cypress trees, mangroves and much more. My GoPro Camera is usually mounted on my Peak Design Capture which is attached to my bag. The bag I used that day is the Peak Design EveryDay Backpack. The GoPro will film my walks as I photograph using my Nikon DSLR Camera.

A lot of these photos are from the main entrance of the park in Homestead, FL. There are several hiking, walking, and canoe trails, as well as campsites. If you visit one of the visitor centers, you can look at the maps and find out more about each one. They tell you the level of difficulties each trail is, meaning how far of a distance and estimate length of time they take.

Full Cold Moon December 2018

The last full moon of 2018 happened on December 22, 2018. It is also referred to as the full cold moon or just cold moon as it happens on the first day of Winter.

Winter Solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year. It happened on December 21st, 2018 at 5:28pm EST. The moon was almost full at the time it happened but it was quite cloudy so I couldn’t get any clear photos of it. I was able to take photos of the full cold moon on the day it was its fullest which is what I really wanted. It also marks the last one of the year so it is a nice way to end 2018.

Full Cold Moon

lest which is what I really wanted. It also marks the last one of the year so it is a nice way to end 2018.

I’ve taken many photos of the moon for many years now. This year I bought myself a super telephoto lens so I can get those extra close shots. The camera I used is the Nikon D800 with the Nikon 200-500mm lens mounted on a Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB Tripod.

The moon rotates just like the Earth does. Today my mom asked me if I have ever noticed that my photos of the moon are of its different sides. So I looked back at a few of those and guess what, I do! Isn’t that cool?!

Tell me in a comment below. Can’t wait to hear about your stories. There are some events that happen once in a lifetime and won’t occur again until the next generations to come.

Yes you should always remember where your stuff is but if something gets misplaced, you can track it with Tile. For instance, your assistant might move it for you and will tell you where it is at, you will also see it’s location with the Tile app.

Using a GoPro on Peak Design Capture Clip is an awesome way to quickly be hands-free from your camera to use other things.

I use it for my GoPro on Peak Design capture clip to get first-person perspective videos and to mount my DSLR when I’m not using a sling.

GoPro on Peak Design

It was a cloudy morning but that just added some moodiness to my photos. It looked like it was going to rain out in the Atlantic Ocean.

GoPro on Peak Design

I’ve been using my GoPro lately to capture videos of me walking and photographing on the go. It captures my view along with my camera in the shot a few times. I mount the GoPro on Peak Design – Capture which is on my Peak Design EveryDay Sling Bag or EveryDay Backpack.

In the video below, I went walking on Hollywood Beach to take some photos of the beach shoreline. I was using my EveryDay Sling to carry an extra lens and accessories. You can see my Nikon DSLR along with a Peak Design tripod plate, BlackRapid Strap, and Misift Vapor Smartwatch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdLe1tVyeBo

The beach had quite a lot of seaweed all along the shore. This is usually not the case for this beach in the past.

I love watching the shorebirds waiting for food to come up along the shore. They are always so entertaining. They are very aware of their surroundings. They quickly move as someone comes close to them.

The GoPro on Peak Design is probably one of my favorite things.

Moon close up in Miami’s night sky

The moon is such a cool object to look at up in the night sky.

Whenever there is a special event going on with the moon, I like to hear about it so I can see it with my own two eyes; and of course capture it with my camera. I recently purchased an super zoom lens so I went out that night to get the moon close up.

Moon in Miami Florida Night Sky at 200mm

The moon was at 90% this night so it was almost completely full. It didn’t bother me that I couldn’t see it full for these photos as it was still a beautiful night.

The last image below has the moon close up as much as my lens can produce. It was a purchase well spent being able to capture something so far away and make it look like you were quite close. I was ecstatic to see how well they turned out and not lose any quality as I zoomed in. If you love astrophotography, I highly recommend this Nikon 200-500mm lens.

Did you see the Super Blue Blood Moon earlier this year? See how it looked here:

When I’m not looking up at the sky, I’m also photographing beautiful people to document those special moments in their lives. Such as this couple.

Fireworks are mainly seen twice a year. First one is on New Years Eve through the night and morning for January 1st and second one on July 4th. The Fourth of July, which is Independence Day in the United States, is a federal holiday celebrated each year on July 4. The USA adopted the Declaration of Independence in 1776. This year is the 242nd anniversary. Americans celebrate with displays of fireworks, whether it is just a few small ones with your family at your house or the cities put on a big show with the professional kind.

The big bursts of colors are probably might favorite.

This one resembles a flower. Do you agree?

The ones that are green definitely catch my attention because green is my favorite color. How about you?

The tight burst is excellent with these. It looks so awesome.

Look at how they sparkle in the night sky. Isn’t it so pretty and cool at the same time?

There was quite a lot going on with this one. It almost didn’t fit in the frame of my photo.

Remember to always be safe around them. Keep your distance and watch them carefully. Keep kids at an even safer distance.

Thank you for visiting, reading and looking at my photos. I hope you enjoyed it where you can imagine being there at the time I was and hear the small explosions as they light up the sky.

A lot of these from this Fourth of July remind me of some of the flowers in this blog post from April.

Flowers in Mother Nature are so pretty. There is so much beauty all around us, from big to small. Flowers is one of those beauties. I love looking at the various colorful flowers all around nature, especially in South Florida.

Flowers come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. A popular one near the beach towns are hibiscus. They happen to be one of my favorites as I have seen common ones as well as hybrids.

The hybrids are a combination of of species. I have seen some unique colors as shown in some of the photos here. Some examples of colors are white, pink, purple, orange, red and combination of colors.

One of my first lenses was a macro lens. I chose a macro so I can take close up photos of flowers. The macro lens allows me to get in real close to the detail. It is amazing to see it up close. From far away, you would have never known they have all that detail in nature.

Do you have favorite flowers? Do you have your own garden? What kind of flowers or plants do you have in your garden?

This yellow flower with gray foliage is called Dusty Miller. Dusty Miller is known for its silver-gray foliage. I thought this was the coolest thing to see that I had to research it’s name and learn about it.

Flowers can really brighten someone’s day. When you see one, you can’t help but smile and admire the beauty that nature provides us all around.

I just met this young woman who is a volunteer for non-profit in which she is “repurposing event blooms into beautiful bouquets to brighten the days of people in need of a smile”. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram: Blooms4Smiles

I think that is a wonderful idea because you can a second use of all those pretty blooms from one event to then bring happiness to someone else on another day that could use it. Most of all, she is doing it at the kindness of her own heart.

I love printing photos as just looking at photos from a screen is just not the same, don’t you think? Also it gives it a better feeling when you can hold the print in your hands and then get it framed, hang them on your walls, or place them on your desk.

You can purchase a print of one of these flowers and more at: https://www.anagarciaphoto.com/browse

Besides looking down at the ground, I also like to look up at the sky to see the moon.
