Photography

As you may have read on the front page, photography has been one of my hobbies since the beginning of 2008, when I bought a digital single-lens reflex camera. Since that date I try to take my camera with me wherever I go. I've read some books, followed a course, and are a subscriber to some magazines for photographers and try to use as much of the knowledge I gained from them as possible. Or I do the exact opposite and hope that the results are satisfactory anyway ;-)

Here are some pictures that I've made. If you'd like to see a bigger version, just click on them.
