First I took my photos with a cheapy Finepix A204 from Fuji. Man, that was crap. There was only auto mode, you couldn't adjust anything. Only if you want macro or not ;-)

After it fell on the ground, one year later I bought a Ixus 30, which was better but seeing the many amazing pictures on the net I knew that you can do so much more with photography, so I saved my money for 2 years in order to buy a dslr.

Now I own a Nikon D50 with three lenses (18-55mm, 50mm 1.8 and 70-300mm) and try to do my best now.
