Enthusiastic hobby photographer which didn't get an eye (yet). meaning I make postcard style pictures, so don't expect a lot of creativity or artistic viewing angles. I try show the things as they are (sometimes a little more beautiful)
Follow the "golden rule" and care about technical details, as there are for example: straight horizons, perspectivic and other distortions, noise, sharpness, close to natural color or as I have the color in mind or show the mood.
My motives are a lot: night and available light, natur, landscape, cityscape, architecture, portrait, street, macro and animal life of which is 99,9% wildlife (not a big fan of zoo and animal show pictures). nude/act only very little, as till now not a lot of chances to get many models ( have no $).
I am german, living since over 22 years in Greece. Because of my business I was till now every year for 2 Month in Thailand & Indonesia. That 's why a lot of pictures are from there.
Hope you enjoy my pictures, and I am happy with any kind of critic as i still learning to get better.

What a face! Excellent macro. The detail and composition are outstanding! I might throw just a hint of light on the spider to bring it out more, but only a little.

Ahh! Looks like a mommy with egg case and some food for herself as well. Good capture Reinhard! A little light - render lighting - might add to the drama of the moment...if you use PS.

Man, I see that photo and I think evolution sure took another direction at some point in time. It is hard to believe that we share our planet with such amazing creatures. Lucky for us their evolutionary path also keeps them on the small and manageble size!
