Since more than 30 years interested in photography, like the groups here in flickr.

 

Step by step, I learned a bit to use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, so I'll put a few more pics into this account.

 

I don't believe in the build -in algorithms of the most consumer digital-cameras, so I prefer to develop the pics from raw-files by my own idea.
