Equipment and software

My technical equipment

I bought my first SLR-camera during my studies, paid for with money I'd earned in jobs during  semester breaks. It was a PENTAX Program A and I have never sold this camera. Until now I have remained with this brand, and in 2008 I bought my first digital SLR (K20D). Now I'm using my very old, but excellent lenses on an innovative ultra-modern camera body.

During the first year with this camera I always have  shooted in JPEG-format. Then I tried to take my photos in RAW-format. I was surprised how much more you can get out of this format compared to JPEGs. Now this is my usual camera setup.

Retouching an image

I have to admit that I'm fascinated by the wide variety of digital post processing effects. But most of my photos I have left untouched. Some have been gently retouched. But I never used hard effects like changing colors or photo-mounting (Except B&W photography of course.). The remaining results should still reflect the real situation and reality.

Next project

My next project: Learning how to shoot HDR-pictures. The resulting range of dynamic is  unbelievable. But this is quite tricky and sometimes almost unpossible. Particularly when objects are moving such as leafs in the wind or people walking.
