Thanks for visiting my photos. My name is Horst, I was born in Germany where I grew up. I have also lived in England and Belgium, and currently I am residing in Italy.
I am a scientist with photography as my gratifying pastime. For me it is a way of capturing a moment of the world how I see it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if you like what you see, please leave a comment!
The equipment that I use:
- Canon EOS 40D with the following lenses
- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM
- CanonEF 50mm f/1.4 USM
- Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 L II USM
- Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
Some of the older photos here on my Flickr page were shot with an OLYMPUS C3000Z, or with a SONY DSC-T9.

Horst has multiple talents in arts and photography. Composition, style, techniques are few of the skills he excels in. I find the diversity of his subjects and treatment amazing and this keeps me coming back to his stream. Each outstanding work will leave you wanting for more. His macro photos are extremely incredible that they never fail to fascinate me. Given more time, I can stare at his images for hours and savor every detail in it. A definite must-see photostream. A low-profiled photographer whose work should be seen and appeciated by many. Thank you H for your friendship. I am so honored to be called your friend.

Some of us post images nearly every day. However, Horst is one of those who waits until he has that image perfectly worthy of viewing. Each and every one of his images is a work of art that is worthy of viewing. His photos have inspired me to seek out certain shots and look at new techniques....that is exactly what I like best about Flickr! Beyond his technical skill, Horst is a wonderful and friendly flickr friend. He was among the first t begin commenting on my photos, and comes back religiously to check out what is new. He is always friendly and supportive, and his flickr friendship is greatly appreciated.
