And we’re off! The main reason this blog got started is because I find myself wanting to join the hype and blog about something. But rather than keeping an online diary where visitors can read what I had for breakfast I prefer writing about something other people may find interesting.

I’ve been photographing for about 4 years now, and lately I notice a steep increase in DSLR fans around me. For those, and for you, I’d like to share what I think I know, and what I’m up to.

When I’m not working, which is pretty rare, I like to go out with my bag-o-camera-accessories and my beautiful wife to take pictures of .. well, pretty much anything we come accross. Living in Amsterdam should leave us with lots of great photo opportunities, but we find ourselves going to ‘nature-ish’ spots most of the times like the nearby lake and the Amsterdam Forest.

Lately I’ve beginning to pick up an interest in photographing people as well though, so I think we will spend some more time in the busy city-centre soon to see what we can capture there.

My current bag consists of:

Canon EOS 20D. I upgraded to this 3 years ago after my first camera, the 300D Digital Rebel and it’s still my favourite toy.
Cenon EOS 20D

Lenses

Tamron 90MM Macro.

I use this one, obviously, for all the macro photography I do. The lens is amazingly sharp, and one can get really close to the subject. Even closer if you’re as brave as my wife and not at all afraid of hairy spiders ;)
