I'm an amateur photographer and Flickr addict I'm afraid :)

Late in 2008 I bought my first DSLR and got addicted again to photography as a hobby after loosing interest some 25 years ago when I had an analog SLR (35mm film). I like the new technologies and all the possibilities of post-processing in this digital age. I like to shoot sports, action, people, objects, landscapes, portraits, events, macro, candids, street etc., well anything really, but I tend to prefer sports & action/motion the most. Getting a 1/30s panning of a supercar or motorbike crisp sharp or freezing a great expression or emotion in a sports activity is such a rush! :)

I also like candids a lot because it shows people in their most natural way just as they are.

 

Recently I had my first 4 fotos published in the book "Padre Motard. Boas curvas ... Se Deus quiser" by José Fernando Lambelho and I'm really happy about it.

 

I hope you like my photos and feel free to comment or critisize (helps me a lot in improving my photographic skills, so I really appreciate critisizm).
