knips2oo7's photostream

I joined this community in 2007.
User ID:14940438@N02
Started to make "knips" at the age of 9 or 10, approx. 1959 with an old AGFA BOX, medium format, rolls 120. Later on continued with an underestimated PRAKTICA IV with Meyer Domiplan 1:2,8/50 and came after the use of MIRANDA SENSOREX II to Nikon analog film cameras.
Nikon FM (in use of my brother)
Nikon FM 2
Nikon F 3, my old working-horse, bought 1980 - still going strong.
Nikon D 300 with several MF NIKKOR prime lenses and new AF Nikkor lenses.
1 SIGMA 10-20 mm F/4-5,6
1 SIGMA 150 mm f/2,8 MACRO
Tripods Leitz mini-tripod, Berlebach Mini-Maxi
Bags Tamrac and Tenba
I prefer the available light photography.
Preferences: Landscape, travel-photography, Macro.
ZOO, B&W
I am sure that a good pic is not depending on the outfit but on what is in your mind, depending on your creativity, on your ability to handle your "tools" and, sometimes, on your knowledge about technical facts you should know about light, use of perspective and lens-angle and so on.
I'm very happy that many people add me as a contact, but please don't be disappointed when i don't add you to my list. It is very hard to work with sooo many contacts!

"Rainer has been a friend for some time now and he never ceases
to amaze me with his wide choice of photos. They are always so
perfectly taken, the content so lovely, and there is always a word
of encouragement and a sense of fun to be had with Rainer.
He has been absent for a little while, but, now he is back I urge
everyone to take a close look at his photos, there is something
there for everyone, yes for you, and if you should be lucky enough
to have found Rainer already, then you will know exactly what I am
saying, if you have not, then take a close look, you will not be
disappointed."26th June, 2008

jmvnoos in Paris says:
"Rainer is one of my most precious contacts on Flickr. So precious that he became a friend. He is the first of my Flickr friends who called me in Paris, on the phone, from Germany!
Rainer is an experienced photographer who knows everything that is important in photography: the choice of the subject, of film, of camera settings, the structure and rules of composition, the treatment of light and color. And he has been taking thousands of pictures in many situations, in many countries. This makes his stream a pleasure to explore.
But all this also makes of Rainer a most interesting reviewer and critic of photographs and photographers. I always appreciate the care he takes in reviewing most of my pictures, finding things no one has found, making me think, making me wonder, making me laugh.
Such a knowledgeable and caring photographer is also a kind and sensitive person.
You understand now why I said "precious"...
Thank you Rainer for giving us so much!"4th February, 2008

"Rainer is a great contact to have on flickr.
His images are always an entertaining glimpse into his life. He has a knack for picking up the quirkiest moments, which makes always makes for very interesting shots. His street shots, in particular, are a testament to his technical ability with strong composition and well controlled light almost always.
Despite his abilities, he remains charmingly unassuming and humble, and is never shy to offer profuse praise to any image he likes.
I look forward to seeing more of Rainer's work in the coming year!"26th December, 2007
