Hello and welcome to our first blog.

Back in the 1980s my father got me a Minolta X700 film. A beautiful camera at that time in opposition to a Canon A1 if I remember this right. I shot animals, took long exposure night images, and all kinds of travel pictures. The settings were somehow different, limited and they had to be precise and exact because you only had one shot out of just 24 or 36 on a film. Developing the physical prints also was quite expensive. This type of photography however trained my eye for details and light much more than digital shooting ever has. So different to today's digital photography. This experience remained in my head and heart although we take thousands of pictures at the time these days. Don't need to worry about wasting or cost. I do recommend however to set the camera right so you do not have to do a lot of post process editing.

The transition from analogue to digital photography turned me down for the first years. The quality wasn't the same, images turned out to be "flat" and the editing all of a sudden forced you to sit on the computer instead of having fun shooting.

Now in this new and all digital world the camera quality, the software and certainly the computers have changed and make it a lot easier to produce good quality images.

I wish and hope though that future generations will still appreciate the true photography instead of cell phone shots.

Photography is telling stories, cell phone shots are great for moments.

It's not the camera that makes the picture -
it's you!

Let's get inspired enjoy nature and create as many memories as we possibly can.
