Kristian Pletten's photostream  

What I like about photography is that it makes Christmas easier!

-----

One day I'll maybe get interested in one style of photography, but at the moment my photostream is a travel through my life and is what I see and experience.

Please give me some constructive criticism and tips as how to make my photographs better, as this is the only way a self-taught photographer as myself can improve.

Cheers!

Gear (yes, I have to admit that I´m a gear freak)
I recently changed system, from Nikon to Canon.

Cameras:
Canon 5D Mark II
Canon AE-1 (old film camera from 1979)
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (compact camera)

Lenses for the 5D:
Canon 16-35mm f/2.8
Canon 50mm f/1.2 (favourite)
Canon 50mm f/1.4
Canon 85mm f/1.8
Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS (great lens)
Canon 1.4x Extender

Lenses for the AE-1:
50mm f/1.8
28mm f/2.8
70-210mm 1 Series f/3.5 (an extremely good lens)

Kenko Extension Tubes (why spend $$$ on macro lenses?)
Two Storm Jackets for rain protection (easy and simple)
Lightcraft Fader ND (brilliant for keeping wide apertures on sunny days while filming)
Benro Travel Angel C-269 M8 Tripod (I'm in love with this tripod. It also works as a DSLR-rig for video)
Nikon SB-600 (not sure why I still have this)
LumiQuest ProMax Softbox III
Crumpler 8 Million Dollar Home (never use it, my gear is too heavy for a shoulder bag)
Lowepro Vertex 200 AW (my main bag, it's great, but it doesn't leave much space for anything else than photography gear)
