I discovered photography as a hobby only a few year ago. My aim was to have some good images to decorate some walls in our house.

With the help of the club I quickly improved the quality of the photographic images I made. I embraced digital very quickly, purchased a digital SLR and spend long nights with Photoshop on the PC. The learning never ends. I love landscapes images. Macro and tabletop photography is an other favourite of mine as this can be done any time night or day, good or bad weather.
