My name is Andreas. I am a 40-year old (as of September 2007) German and live near Frankfurt/Main.
I do a lot of Poser images, but not many of them find their way into my gallery, as I do a lot of them just to amuse myself or create images of characters in roleplaying games I run. Those may serve me well as illustrations for my games, but I don't consider most of them a worthy addition to my Renderosity gallery. That's why there are not too many renders in my gallery, even if I joined this community years ago.
Recently (as of autumn 2007) I have re-discovered an interest in photography. I toyed around with a (non-digital) SLR over a decade ago, but now that I am slowly getting the hang of my digicam I feel that photography may be a medium I could explore some more. But how that will turn out remains to be seen. :-)
And if you wonder why I have no favorite images on this page, the reason is simple:
I feel that - without spending 48 hours a day here - I can only manage to see a fraction of all the great images posted at Renderosity. To add something as a favorite simply because it was there when I was checking out a certain gallery seems (to me) unfair to all the other great artists I may have missed only because I don't have the time to peruse all galleries. I know what I like - and I know who does art like that - but I don't want to favor them over people who may be just as good, whom I may just have missed because there are so many image to see here.
A word of warning about postwork in my photographs: I don't always mention it, but it may still be there. I consider postwork to be something akin to editing the first draft of a written story. I doubt anyone would expect a writer to mention that he has edited his first draft when he publishes a story, and to me the photo my camera takes is very much the first draft of a story, so to speak. When I feel that the photo is not quite up to showing what I saw in a motive I will "edit" it a little to bring out the best parts and gloss over the not-so-good parts. That's what I do, and I stand by it - especially since there is no way to please everyone. :-)

A wonderful vibrant scene and excellent capture - I think your copyright is just right and definitely doesn't intrude on the beautiful image.

I think the copyright is great. I get vexed when they span the center of the shot so this is perfect. I can enjoy the photo. :-) Good shot.

Yet another beautiful picture. The berries remind me of khakis, so I see a play on scales in it. :-) Yes, the copyright notice is fine with me. If your camera supports this, you could save your photographs als JPG files with embedded EXIF information. I think shutter time is included, but I don't know about focal length.

An excellent shot, colour is fading all around now, very grey here where I live last few days.

Just the energy-infusion we need this time of years! Thanks! I think the copyright notice is well placed, good size but perhaps just a little to bright. I like it discrete. Beautiful berries!

Ugh... I envy you that sun! :-D
