@johnmwildlife Welcome to the fediverse. The hashtags are free. Some are spelled oddly. Examples are #LichenSubscribe, #Mosstodon, #Bloomscrolling
@Pollinators
Also - don't worry about mixing languages! Translation works great for the most part, as long as the language tags on the posts line up

Diving into Mastodon a bit like the chaffinch diving off this branch. Hi everyone, I'm John a hobbyist wildlife photographer based in Scotland. I currently upload all of my images to Flickr but I'm wanting somewhere else to share some of them too. Still not quite sure how Mastodon works but hope to view yours and share more of my wildlife and nature photographs.

@johnmwildlife welcome
That's a lovely photograph!I haven't fully figured Mastodon out yet but hashtags and alt tags are definitely a good way to get started.

@johnmwildlife I think its great what you are doing. Does Flickr charge anyone using your photos? The current picture shows a bird taking off. I think photos do also provide a message..

@johnmwildlife Welcome John! I look forward to seeing your photos and hearing more about the wildlife in Scotland. My first visit there was last September and I've been planning a return since then.
@mxhdroom Thanks Gary! Hopefully they don't disappoint - I'm still quite new to it and by no means 'professional'. Glad you enjoyed your first trip here enough to want to come back. We're blessed with some incredible landscapes and environments.

@NoRomBasic Thank you for the warm welcome! Already amazed at the welcome I've received.

@johnmwildlife lovely photo! Welcome!
@lrt_writes Thanks Lisa!

@johnmwildlife You are very welcome. Yes, this cormorant was floating by on a narrow river with a path right alongside, so that's close to an uncropped image. Look forward to seeing your work when you are able to post it.
@Cliftographer That's incredible! I hope to have one come that close to me soon.

@joannaholman Thanks Joanna - glad to have found some like-minded people!

@Pollinators Thank you! Yes - I noticed some of the spellings. Looking forward to finding more. I'm also an avid gardener albeit in a very different zone - 9a I believe it is!
