As you have probably seen when looking at my photo collection, I mainly photograph sports and urban/landscapes. I really like doing the sports events, as it has to be done fast and you never know what you are going to get (only what kind of photo you might want to get). Urban photography and landscapes on the other hand are completely different as you can compose the photo exactly as you wish (most of the time) and you do not have to worry about unsharpness due to movement of your object. I mostly like urban photography because of the lines you can see in buildings, but also the modern buildings which I really enjoy. The thing I like about landscapes are the rich colours and the diversity, e.g. all kinds of blue when photographing a sea and sky using a polarizer.

I bought my first dSLR end summer 2006, a Canon EOS 350D, and mainly used it for aircraft spotting at the time. As time went by I started to become interested in other fields of photography, such as landscapes, mainly inspired by other photos as seen on flickr and other websites. End 2008 I bought a Canon EOS 40D with which I am trying to practice a lot now. The best photos are uploaded to flickr to share with the rest of the world and maybe inspire other people in the same way I was once inspired by other people's photos. Also, I hope to get some feedback on my photos with which I can make them even better.
