I have been photographing for many years, at first in the old-fashioned way with film and chemicals, nowadays digitally.
From the beginning of 2006 i have been working as a freelance photographer. While sportphotography is my main interest, i allways try to be as versatile as possible. I work for Amnesty International regularly and a growing number of customers seem to be pleased with my work as well.
I am a member of the Admin Team of Fotocommunity.
If you encounter any problems or have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
I work with Nikon and Fuji Finepix cameras and i do most of my processing in Nikon Capture NX while i convert RAW with the Bibble Pro converter. To some extend i use Photoshop for the few edits i can not make in Capture.
Bibble Pro gives utmost control over the result.
I use NIK plug in filters quite often in order to optimize colour and sharpness.
Presently i use a Nikon D200 and a Fuji Finepix S5Pro, Nikkor 2.8/300mm, Sigma 2.8/70-200mm, Sigma 2.8/24-70mm Tokina 4./12-24mm and Nikkor 1.8/50mm

Thanks for the comment.
Indeed at the time I did have some dust on my camera, but it was cold outside in Finlande and my hends were frozen :)
and for the contrast, I tried, but it makes my picture a bit too dark.
Anyway, I like your red fence in the field.

Thank you for the vote on "Lunch Time"
I didn't make it into the gallery, but i learned a lot from the voting.
Next time i will use much more time in post prosessing before posting pictures, I already got a much better version of "Lunch Time" after better post prosessing. (Removed noise, recovery of some of burn out parts)
Think maybe i will get better pictures in the future thanks to your vote and feedback in fc.
Best wishes from Ken

Hi Ruud, Can you keep pressing the Pro Button maybe i'll get another star lollllll

Seriously, I feel lucky that it made star at all - everything seems ok here it hasnt been in voting, as far as i can see, but then again maybe it is because i already voted on it. hmmm strange.
