Hello I’m Luc. Long time ago I set my first steps in photography with my father’s camera. I remember it was a Leica with a 50 mm f 1.2 optical glass. The camera had to be configured manually and so I learned with a litle lightmeter to understand light. Of course it was an analog camera with the classical filmrolls. I was fascinated while chemicals did their work an image appears on paper. Nothing was automatic, completely manual experiments must be followed to get the pictures on their best. I remember the smell of the chemicals and the red bulb in an “invented” darkish room.
Many years later I offered me an analog Canon AE1. Yeah, one of the first with a on board lightmeter. I used the camera until it broke a few years later. While using the popular single use cameras in a solid paper box, the evolution and technology in (at that time) modern reflex cameras passed by without my attention, until on a journey I met a proffessional photographer on Madeira. He worked with a Nikon D70s. He gave me back that feeling to handle a camera. Once back home I went to the store and bought me the Nikon D50.
After about 90.000 cliks later on the D50, my eyes could not see enough on that tiny little screen . This camera was replaced with in that time the extraordinary devellopped D300. It served me for about 80.000 clicks before I turned to a full framed camera. Nowadays I use two D800 body’s. They still own me a lot of pleasure and will serve me still a long time in the future.
If you like photographing, look around on this website and discover how I look at this world.
Take a look on the tips and tricks pages. I do the same on other photographers’ sites.
A wise man said once:
Learn from your errors and learn especialy from others’ errors, you do not have the time in your whole lifetime to make them all by yourself!
The pictures taken and shown in these galleries are a reflection of the interest of mine. Especialy birds take my attention and sometimes a funny scene is captured. On bike trials, holliday trips and outside walks a camera is becoming a part of the equipment.
Enjoy the galleries…
