Capturing good architecture in photos has always been a special hobby for me. This fitted in nicely with my work as an architect. Besides the space the influence of light is an important aspect of architecture and its photograpy. But I also pay attention to other subjects, such as people in the city. Art has my attention especially its interaction with people and architecture.

I also merge my photos into videos so that you can easily get an overview of a subject without having to click each time. See:

Since 1960, when I got my first camera, the Kodak Brownie Starlet, I made photos more and more. My second camera was a Petri Blue Magic Scope (1963). Te next one was a 6 x 6 cm Yashica Mat (1970), which I used until 1976, when I purchased a Nikon Nikkormat FT2. This camera (with 3 lenses: Nikkor 85 mm - 1:1.8, Micro Nikkor 55 mm - 1:3.5, Nikkor 24 mm - 1:2.8) accompanied me for 28 years (!) until the digital age when my analog time ended.

In 2004 a digital Nikon D 70 appeared with a zoom lens (AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm - 1:3.5/4.5). This camera was replaced by a Nikon D 90 in 2009 with 12,3 megapixels, more options and the lenses: AF-S Nikkor 18-105 mm - 1:3.5/5.6, AF Nikkor 70-300 mm - 1:4/5.6 and for architecture: a Tokina SD 12-24 mm - 1:4 . In 2011 the camera body changed to a Nikon D7000, more megapixels (16,2), better focusing and faster. In 2013 the camera body changed again to a Nikon D7100 and more megapixels (24,1). In 2015 a Nikon D7200 replaced the previous one.

Since 2014 I also use a smart phone when I don't have my Nikon with me. The quality is very good these days and I also post these pictures.

Before the digital age my family used a Nikon EM with Nikon E 50 mm - 1:1.8 and Nikon E 28 mm - 1:2.8. After that camera came a Nikon Coolpix S10 VR, which I use in daily working life. The family now uses a red (!) Nikon D 5500 with lens AF-S Nikkor 18-105 mm -1:3.5/5.6 and I sometimes take that lighter camera.

I use the wide angle lens 12-24 mm for architectural pictures. I try to hold the camera vertical so that the lines don't fall which I hate. With Adobe Lightroom I process each (RAW) picture for saturation/color, adjust the horizon and check/correct the vertical lines. There are a lot of Flickr pictures that would be better when the verticals are processed!

I am pleased if you want to use my pictures, but only for non-commercial use, as long as you state me as the author, and I expect you to ask me first on my flickr-email.
