Photographing has been something I’ve done occasionally about from the early 80's. But lack of enthusiasm to develop the films self was mostly the thing which turned off the whole hobby little by little. Thanks to the digital cameras, my interest woke up and it was the year 2005, when I bought a little Canon PowerShot A520 digital camera.

I joined Flickr on the 27th of March 2009 by answering to the invitation of my friend Nina ( www.flickr.com/photos/nina_999/ ) . It’s also all her “fault” that I finally bought my Canon 40D in July 2008 ;)

With my camera I have entered in a new world and it has opened my eyes to see things I earlier just passed by. Photographing is also a thing that keeps me going, because quite often it’s hard for physical reasons.

My other hobbies are motorcycling and old American cars, reading and handcrafts. I’m 51 years now and my family consists of my husband and our cat Vivian, age of 20 years..

My equipment:

Canon EOS 40D
EF 24-70mm f/2,8mm L USM
EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5,6 IS USM
EF 70-300mm f/4-5,6 IS USM
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5,6 DC HSM
Few filters
An old Manfrotto tripod
