Hey guys, I finally decided to try instagram, but I have to admit that I don't have very much experience with it. So some advice from the professionals would be very much appreciated! So far I have decided, that I will still post every finished photo I take here, so don't worry, you guys won't miss anything, I promise. BUT as instagram is overall more easygoing, I thought maybe I could post some before&after shots from time to time, or show you some behind the scenes, if that's what would be interesting for you.  But if you say you would like to just see my finished pics, without needing to log into dA, it would be fine for me too.

Hi everybody! I am usually not somebody who writes journals, I actually already have problems to find the right words when describing my photos or choosing a title. So I will try to keep it short. I wanted to thank everybody who faved, featured, commented or watched! Really really thank you guys, it means a lot to me. When I quit photography almost 6 years ago, I had the feeling that my work was not good enough. That I did not know how to improve even though I read a lot and looked at the work of others, trying to find out why it seemed so much better than my photos. I was frustrated to a point that I stopped completely until last year.

I got a Sigma 75-300 APO some days ago from ebay! Just cost me 57€ and heck, I love it! :love: It's heavy, it's loud and a tripod is needed at 300mm but that doesn't bother me. The reason why I bought it, is that I had to hand my 18-200 Nikkor back, because it was defective and took a 18-105 VR and a 35mm 1:1.8 instead. Here are some photos taken with the 75-300 APO: http://fav.me/d30vave    http://fav.me/d30vb6m    http://fav.me/d30vbpm greets David
