Hello and welcome to my flickr-profile.
I started photographing in September 2011. I actually just wanted to buy a DSLR-camera for my next vacation in 2012. But soon I got dedicated to photography and it became my new hobby besides playing football.
I started out buying a Nikon D5100 camera with the kit-objective Nikkor 18-105 mm. Just short time later I expanded my set with a Nikkor 50mm 1,8 lens. But that still was not enough. Today my equipment counts the following:
Nikon D5100
Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-105 mm
Nikkor 50mm 1,8G
Nikkor 24-70 2,8G
Nikkor 70-200 2,8 VRII
Sigma 10-20 mm
Tamron 70-300 mm
Tamron 18-270 mm PZD (for the Tamron Extreme Test / blog.tamron.de)
Nikon SB-700 Flash
Yongnuo YN-560 Flash
Yongnuo YN-560 II Flash
2 Yongnuo RF602 Flash triggers
Lowpro Flipside 400
Sirui T-005B Tripod
Manfrotto 055xprob tripod with a Manfrotto 498RC2 ballhead
Some UV-Filters for my lenses aswell as a polarizing filter, a ND3 and ND8 filter for my 18-105mm lens
Some more bits and pieces
I am still in my learning phase. I try out a lot of different compositiions, scenes, etc.
So if you have some advice, comments or critics, I am always happy to hear about it.
I hope you enjoy my fotostream :)

"es ist immer wieder schön, solche entdeckungen wie flo auf flickr zu machen.
er scheint meistens nur nachts unterwegs zu sein, und überrascht uns immer wieder mit hervorragenden lichtspielen und ungewöhnlichen perpektiven. egal ob FC Offenthal vs. SG Egelsbach oder radikale architekturaufnahmen, er hat immer genau den richtigen blick für den moment.
ich liebe fotografierende menschen mit humor, und hier ist man bei flo genau richtig, denn klein flowi hat mein herz erobert :-)
ich freue mich auf noch viele spannende bilder, und bin stolz, seine flickrfreundin zu sein. alles liebe katrina"19th November, 2012

"I happened upon Flowtation´s beautiful stream somewhere along my journey here on flickr. I enjoy commenting on as many of his wonderful landscape and cityscape images as possible - they certainly deserve a closer look!
Not only is Flowtation a most welcome link to my beautiful home country Germany, but it is obvious that we share a similar passion for photography and post-processing.
Keep on clicking my friend, never stop - all the best for your future endeavours! Lao An"8th October, 2012

"~ It is a pleasure to count Florian as one of my newer contacts, added somewhen in the past months during checking his set with US pictures.
I didn't know if we ever meet personally, but I have the feeling, that we meet often during our time on Flickr. There are a couple of amazing and various images in your stream, everytime interesting to view and to catch up the idea and processing behind... thanks for some inspiration!
Keep up your great work... ~"30th September, 2012
