I’m searching experience exchange with other hobby (and also pro) photographers as well as inspiration and creative ideas for my development.

I like the very big and challenging international volume of flickr pictures and the sound factual comments.

My key photographic interests are currently focussing on:

- Nature, animals, birds

- Landscape (esp. Germany, France, Denmark, Netherlands)

- Architecture

- Macro (Nature)

- Astro/Night Sky (fixed camera or simple parallactic tracking)

- Available Light

******************************************************************

Suche hier vor allem Erfahrungsaustausch mit anderen Hobbyfotografen als auch mit Profis sowie Inspiration und kreative Ideen.

Bei flickr reizt mich besonders das sehr umfangreiche und anspruchsvolle Bilderangebot sowie die fundierte sachliche Kommentierung.

Meine fotografischen Interessengebiete bzw. Schwerpunkte sind zur Zeit:

Natur/Tiere mit Schwerpunkt Vogelfotografie (Bevorzugte location: Lippe-Auenlandschaft, z.B. NSG Tibaum bei Werne-Stockum und Hamm (Westfalen).

Landschafts- und Architekturfotografie

Bevorzugte locations: Westfalen (südliches Münsterland, Dortmund, Bonn), Ostfriesland, Wattenmeer, NL, DK und F

Makrofotografie, Astrofotografie (Azimuth- oder einfache parallaktische Montierung) und Available Light-Fotografie
