I started photography in 80's with 35mm film SLR's, Nikon F-301 to be precise. However, after some years I seriously got bored with the nuisance of handling 1000's of slides which I had taken and eventually quit taking pictures for a long time.

Later digital cameras started to evolve and finally 2002 I asked Santa to bring me Nikon 5700 for Christmas present. And he did deliver! With 5700 I started to take more and more pictures, upgraded to Nikon D70 during 2003 and very late in March 2005 I finally got my D200. In February 2008 I upgraded to D300 and most recently in April 2009 made the big leap from DX format to FX format with Nikon D700.

Today I'm shooting with:
- Nikon D700 body
- 24-70mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S N Nikkor (real photography)
- 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S N VR II Nikkor (real photography)
- 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S N VR Micro Nikkor (for Macro)
- 50mm f/1.4G ED-IF AF-S Nikkor (classic, real photography)
- TC-17E II Nikkor (for extending 20-700mm)
- 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor ("if I only can take one lens with me and need more than what my 50mm can do" -lens)
- Nikon SB-800 flash
- Nikon GP-1 GPS unit connected to my D700

Additional gear that I use:
- Tamrac CyberPack 9 photo backpack
- Tamrac Pro 12 bag
- Manfrotto 055PROB tripod
- Manfrotto 488RC2 ball head
