AZ Foto (Ada)'s photostream
|
Hello!
Thank you for visiting my photostream.
My name is Ada and I've been a photography and Flickr addict since June 2008, when I got my first DSLR camera (Canon EOS 400D). One year ago, I upgraded to Canon EOS 50D. I take pictures almost everyday. I especially like to photograph nature and our three cats. I really like macro photography. I am happy to live in Achterhoek, which is one of the most picturesque rural regions in Holland. When the weather is right I like to bike in the country and take pictures of the beautiful farms, fields and forests we have here.
I was born in Poland but 7 years ago I moved to the Netherlands, where I live together with my boyfriend and our 3 cats. I speak Polish, English and Dutch.
If you are interested in using any of my pictures, please contact me through the Flickr mail.

tinamathis says:
"Ada's superb photography combines her extensive knowledge of and love for the camera with a sharp and aesthetic eye and, perhaps more importantly, a warm and caring heart.
Like many truly gifted people, she tends to be subtle to the point of being understated at times... but hold on!... eventually some genuine gems hit your senses with the refined brilliance that is unmistakably AZ Fotografie. With her high level of technique she sometimes manages to create three-dimensional images on a flat, two-dimensional surface. Those are the, for me, memorable marvels in her photostream such as a flower-bound butterfly on its final approach, or a ladybird among the amazing beauty of blossoming clover. It can't get finer!!!
I happen to know that she has worked hard, not only to master the technique of her beloved craft, but to acquire the equipment she knows she needs to perfect her skills. I congratulate her on her latest lens purchases. Personally, I can't wait to see the results :-)
Heel veel geluk, lieve Ada, in je leven en career als fotografe!"7th June, 2010

"The real photographer can take awesome pictures of any subject!
This is why I consider Ada a great photographer.
She has stupendous sets with any kind of themes.
Ada is a woman of great feeling!
As I am a "cat woman", my preferred set is Cat's life. The portraits are simply stunning!
I would like take some wonderful captures she does!"19th December, 2009

"Her cat photos are second to none - taken with real love for her subjects which shines through. Her love of the countryside and nature is also apparent in her art, and her photos are a joy to see.
Ada is also wonderfully encouraging and supportive of other people - a real Flickr friend!"14th October, 2009
