Hi my name is Alex and I live in Germany. After living 15 years in the city of Cologne, we moved to countryside four years ago and we now live in a very beautiful rural region at the very south of Bavaria. So I have a lot of subjects to take photos from, especially landscapes, mountains, lakes, woods, rivers, picturesque villages, countryside.

I’m currently shooting with a Nikon- and a Pentax-System. Nikon: D90 and D3000 DSLR, Nikkor AF-S 18-200 VR-II lens, Nikkor 10-24 G ED wideangle lens, Nikkor AF 50mm 1.4D and Nikkor AF-S 18-105G VR lens. Pentax: K20D and K-x DSLR, with Pentax DA 18-55WR, Sigma 18-200 DC and Sigma 70-300 DG macro APO lens. Compact cams: Samsung WB550 and Nikon P300. Flash: Nikon SB-900, SB-400, and Pentax AF-200FG.
Image treatment: Photoshop Elements (PSE8), Gimp 2.6, DxO Optics Pro 6.5, Photomatix Pro 3.2, Ulead Explorer 8.0, Nikon ViewNx 2.0, Picasa 3.8, UF-Raw 0.15. Many pictures are unaltered though, as is.
