Hehe, it surely is :) But take it easy man, this place is also very complex and it takes months or even years to fully understand everything here :D Take it easy, step by step :) But like I said, if your persist, you will be fine. Btw, various photo contests are a great opporunity for newbies to get engaged with the community, make some contacts and also earn some extra Steem if they win :)
There are many photo contests here run by various people. One of the oldest and most popular one, for example, is the one hosted by @czechglobalhosts. It´s hosted daily, today is the North American Friday so feel free to share some nice shot from your homeland in there ;)
