I started photography as a kid in the early 60th with an old Kodak camera. My first SLR was a Praktika with 2.8/50 lens.

Later I got two Yashika FR I with 1.4/50, 2.8/28 and a Tokina 80-200 mm push/pull zoom lens. Took part in several contests and won once. I also did some newspaper work.

Developed and enlarged in b&w and color at home in my own darkroom.

December 2007 I started digital. A lot to learn !!!

Equipment:

Nikon F5 and D300

Nikkor AF-D 35-70/f=2.8

Nikkor AF-S 80-200/f=2.8

2 flashguns, 3 tripods, 1 monopod, and a lot bits and bobs.

All my wildlife pictures are real wildlife and I will keep it this way. No zoo or park.

Any comments on my pictures are welcome.

If you feel there are point to critique, please do so. It helps to improve.

That's it so far. Enjoy my pictures.
