I started with photography around 2008. Initially without my own camera, I got my first camera, a Sony SLT-A33, in 2010. I then practiced and photographed a lot with this camera. In addition to a tripod, I also bought a Metz 50 AF-1 digital flash during this time. The camera then broke down in 2015 and was replaced by the Sony SLT-A58. The camera was then followed by the Sony 55-200 SAL-II and Sony SAL50F18 lenses. Until 2023, I spent a lot of time with this camera and took numerous photos to improve my knowledge and skills. In 2023, the camera was then replaced by the Sony ILCA-77M2. The lenses were also replaced at the same time. My current equipment besides the camera is the Sony SAL1650, the Sony SAL50F18 and the Sony SAL55300, the Metz 50 AF-1 digital flash, the Oppilas S2 Wireless Remote Control and a Rollei C5 tripod.
In addition to this main camera, I bought a Sony DSC-RX100 III as an always-on camera. I also use it for underwater photography. More about this on my other website AB-Tauchen.com
In the years that I have been doing photography as a hobby, the motifs have been very varied. From vacation photography to buildings, vehicles, plants, animals and people in my private
environment, everything is included.
