HOW I STARTED ?
At the age of ? ? ? I "stole" the old Agfa Silette from my dad :-) I just liked the fat "klick" when pushing the shutter.
Some years later I changed to a "real" camera NIKON F301 and spent almost all of my savings at that time. Pretty soon I invested in a lab too and gradually upgraded my equipment with various NIKONs and lenses.
I photographed a lot and was mainly into details I saw on the street and in daily life. Mainly b/w. These are still my favourite subjects today.
Of course the usual holiday thingies but with a focus on street scenes rather than beaches and party photos. so here we come to...
WHAT DO I SHOOT / WHAT DO I LIKE ?
Not only shooting but also watching. Isn't Photography about watching anyway !? All kinds of reportage and scenes. People, details, series - Just life. Not so much nature and if - then rather details or graphical structures. Classical nudes are also of interest... trying to excel.
In general I'm the purist-kind-of-type, i.e. I'm not into experimental phototgraphy neither do I fiddle around with the photos on my Mac (except b/w conversion and a little contrast, colors, sharpening...)
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I USE?
Nikon or nothing... :-)
as mentioned above I started with a manual F301 and the standard 28-70mm. Over time several manual Nikon's went through my hands with all kinds of lenses. All time favourite is / was my good old F3 (still the best thing available ...)
When I moved from Germany to Malaysia in 2005 I invested in a D70s with the standard zoom, a tele Zoom and a SB800 flash.
I have to admit that I still don't like the danger of not concentrating on the shot with digital cameras coz you "know" that you can do 100 shot's more and select the best. OK - it's more comfortable ;-)
Furthermore I own a small Sony T100 which I use when I dun wanna carry around the big one and I take it under water. Amazing little thing... except some noise and the crappy built in flash. As long as you know what it can do and waht not - it's OK. Then again: Photography is about watching 1st and technics only 2nd...
I invested into a 2nd Body - a D40. Amazing little thing and I have to admit that the sensor produces sharper and less noise Photos than the D70s ;-)
Saying this I'm now a proud owner of a D300s with a nice 2.8 17-55mm
Very very seldom I grab one of the cameras of my small classic camera collection: a NIKON FM, a russian-made Zenith 11, a GDR made Praktika, a MINOX 35. Another "toy" is the hipstamatic app on my iPhone ... ;-)

Deine Asia-Bilder sind beeindruckend.
Die vom Thaipusam voll abgefahren. Das darf man sich nicht entgehen lassen. Ein Schauspiel sondersgleichen.

Sehr geile Fotos hier bei Dir. Habe Dich eben erst endeckt aber werde Dich gleich mal zu den Buddies nehmen. Was machst Du denn in Kuala Lumpur, wenn Du nicht gerade am Fotografieren bist?
Werde jetzt sicher öfter hier vorbei schauen.

Danke für deine in allen Punkten zutreffende Kritik - ich denke (vor allem die Schärfe), daß sich alles mit der Nachbearbeitung am PC lösen liese, aber da bin ich noch alles andere als sattelfest.Ermelinda Machado, 30.07.2006 at 14:34h
