My interest in photography dates back to my early childhood when Dad blindfolded the windows to set up his darkroom. As by magic pictures appeared out of nothing on sheets of paper, in the faint light of a green bulb. I still remember those fascinating moments as if it were yesterday.

In 1980 I bought my 35mm analog SLR, Canon AV-1, and have been taking pictures ever since. Since a couple of years I got into fine art photography, inspired by someone who is very dear to me. Take pictures not just for myself, to stow away in a dusty album, but pictures worth sharing with the world. For me fotocommunity is a place where I hope to find guideance and inspiration and feedback on my work to help me improve my skills, like I will try to help others where I can.

What is my style? I'm not sure, guess I still have to find out. Pure, sometimes abstract, mainly elements in landscapes that reflect a certain mood or atmosphere. Captured in a way just beyond the ordinary. If I succeeded? That's exactly what I like to hear from you, so please don't hesitate to tell me what you think...

My Canon AV-1 (35mm analog SLR) and the fully manual Canon F1n have been my favorite workhorse for 30 years, together with a small set of lenses and some filters. My film of choice is Kodak Portra, for its natural color tones.
Currently I use a digital rangefinder camera, the Leica M9, for most of my photography.

Regards,

Robert

Hi Robert, Thanks for your observations and it's good to be back.

All things were happened in the members-only channel, the reason why I left.
I am furious about this.

I think the foreground (nearest grassfield a little bit too bright) likely to be the reason why we see that the foreground doesn't help that much as expected compared to the previous work.
Thank you, a very useful suggestion and criticism!

Hi Robert!

Thank you for your entry in the forum!

It seems you stay with the analogue cameras! Personally, I would really like to make the experience to develop my own analogue pictures. But I started to become interested in photography only after I got a digital camera. It is just so much easier to try different settings and see the results immediately (and to keep track of which pictures where taken with which settings). Unfortunately I have also only made bad experiences with scanning of photos, both when doing it myself and when ordering a CD together with film development...

I also had a look onto your pictures. There pinhole experiments are great. I will post a seperate comment there...

I really like "Look into the future" as well. Just the creepy moment, the boy looking at the wall of skulls. Death against young life... Would be interesting to know his thoughts - but perhaps better to have your own...

Best regards, Timm
