retired Biology teacher, born in 1938

Many, many different interests, mostly in the small things of life.

Biology, Flowers, insects, Sandmacro, Lichens, Doorknocks, Windows, house details,etc.

I don't have a Sony DSC 717 and a Sony DSC H1 anymore.

That is why I have now a Canon S5IS and a Nikon D80 with a 18-200 VR lens and a macro 60mm lens end a 105mm Macro plus 1.7 extender

Even that has changed to a Nikon D 200S and these days I changed to a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, which is nice and useful, quick and has an enormous long reach.

But the quality of the pictures is still not to my satisfaction.

Now I changed all that for a couple of Olympus OMD-camera's with a 60mm/1:2.8 and a 14-150mm / 1:4-5.6 lens

I live in Alkmaar in the north of Holland, Europe, near the coast
