Bought my first digital camera in 2000, a Sony Cybershot DSC-S70 , used it only on vacation and on special occasions. Made some good photos, but was very slow.

Upgraded to a Sony DSC-V3 in 2005, made some decent pictures, didn't use it to much, hated the grain in lower lights.

Upgraded again to a Canon EOS350D in 2006, bought an traded in different lenses, bought a bigger flash. Made over 5000 photos between August 2006 and January 2007. Got into panorama photography. Joined Flickr ;-)

In the meantime I added HDR photo creation to my interests.

Currently I'm shooting mostly RAW, postprocessing the fotos with Lightroom.

Upgraded to a EOS 30D in February 2007:

Upgraded to a EOS 5D in June 2008:

Right now I'm mainly into portrait photography. I'm still learning new stuff every day...

At this time, I have a photoshooting almost every weekend, lasting between 5 and 7 hours, producing 600 to 1000 photos every time.
