I`m a german amateur photographer who got more busily involved in photography (just for the fun of it) after buying my first DSLR a few years ago. For me photography is a way to freeze the beauty and special atmosphere of the moment, mostly related to landscape and nature. My current DSLRs consist of a Nikon D300, a Nikon D7100, and a Nikon D800, some old analogue stuff was captured with a Nikon F-801.

 

Each comment on my photos whatsoever is most appreciated, even if I will not be able to visit as many streams in return as I would like to. Thank you for your interest!

Some of my favourite quotations somehow related to photography as I see it:

Digital photography allows us just not to capture memories but it also allows us to create them. - James Wayner
