I have loved photography since I was a child. My first camera was Smena, a low cost 35 mm film camera and I remember taking it everywhere and photographing everything with really no idea what I was doing. Years later I bought myself Kodak VR35, a very trendy point and shoot camera at the time, which I abused terribly during when travelling. Then came different priorities – family, work, different hobbies, but eventually about thirteen years ago I decided to go back to photography, and purchase myself a Canon PowerShot S3, and that was when I started learning the basics of a camera, the aperture, the shutter speed etc. Later on I replaced it with Canon 1100D, my first DSLR camera, which still serves me well as a backup camera during my travels to different parts of the world. I also own a Canon 7D. I love travelling and my photography is mostly based on my travels, so in other words - travel photography is the one I’m mostly into therefore including landscapes. I also enjoy street photography and architecture, especially abandoned buildings. I have a very basic knowledge of using photo editing software. The one I have chosen to use is Lightroom and I use it mostly for cropping, adjusting or optimizing my pictures. However, since I became a WPS member, I have started discovering its secrets, and I’m finding it to be a great fun. I must admit that joining WPS was the best decision I have made for years and wish I had done it earlier. I really enjoy our Tuesday nights, lectures given by professional photographers and competition nights. It is very interesting and educating to listen to the constructive critique of the judges.
