About me
[edit]I usually contribute to the German Wikipedia, where I'm mostly involved with voting in and archiving of KEB (candidates for excellent images, roughly equivalent to FPC), but I also sometimes write articles on the subjects I take pictures of. On Commons I contribute to QIC, VIC and FPC (in this order) where I normally review at least as many images as I nominate. I also organize species galleries and tag images with erroneous ids for renaming.
My current equipment is what would probably called medium-class and consists of
- a Nikon D90 DSLR
- a Sigma 18-200 mm F3,5-6,3 DC lens
- a Sigma 105 mm F2,8 EX DG macro lens and
- an Alpha 2500 tripod
The large majority of images is taken with the macro lens, however, and I rarely use the tripod because I find it too cumbersome in the field. Until October 2009 I used a Ricoh R10 compact camera.
I usually take pictures of all things small, mostly insects and flowers and combinations thereof. When I return home from a trip, I have fun identifying the depicted specimens and am steadily accumulating field identification books. I'm most experienced with the photography and identifation of damsel-, dragon- and butterflies, but I'm getting good at grasshoppers and bugs too.
