Hello everybody!
So after some posts to pal up with this form, please let me introduce myself...
My name is Maximilian and like a lot of other forum members before I am a long time reader and finally decided to join and to be an active part of this forum – as far as possible.
First of all, I want to thank all of you, who are willing to share their experience and knowledge and are really helpful and nice and over all patient to all of the inquiring people here.
THANKS A LOT!!!
Now let me tell you a little bit about me and my passion about photography:
I was born and I live in Germany. I got into contact with photography because of my father who was taking a lot of pictures and also did filming (8 mm).
He possessed a Canon FTb and a Canon AE-1 and so the seed was set.
My brother was really deep into photography: He bought a T90 and I was really impressed. He also installed a darkroom in our basement. I joined him very often and I still remember the smell of acetic acid and the other subtances there and did some b&w work there as well.
But it took me some more years until 1991 when I bought my own first film camera:
a Nikon F-601 (Yes, I joined the dark side
) and some lenses.
At this time I didn't belive in the AF technology with drives inside the lens. And I also didn't recognize something called USM.
After some years of using that gear, I decided, that film was not convenient enough for me and the equipment was too big. So I quit photography for almost 10 years and started again in 2006 with a Fuji E900 P&S, when I thought, that digital photography was now acceptable for me especially concerning trigger delay.
In 2009 when my first son was born I decided to buy my first DSLR and I ended up with Canon again
As neuroanatomist said: “Try to AF a toddler with a P&S.” You will fail too often.
And by this time I came across canonrumors.com. So a really long time reader.
But after some bad experiences with missbehavior and trolls in internet fora I refused to be an active part.
But here the attitude is much better – at least most of the time.
So now I take a lot of pictures of my family. I like animal, zoo and wildlife photography, that's why I post here. And I am also interested in other genres.
I'm not so much into PP, and I try to reduce it to the nessesary: White balance, exposure correction and reframing.
I will post some of my picures below or link them here, so you can see what I do.
Once again thank you all for sharing all of your experience and knowledge and I hope I can give something back to this community.
Yours,
Maximilian
