Hi everyone!
My name's Sandi. I'm 28 years young and born in Croatia.
I live in Germany since 2017. Speak three languages: German, English, and Croatian.
Married a wonderful woman with whom I have the best son in the world.
How it all started...
Bought the first mobile phone that had a good camera (Huawei p30 pro new edition).
But I had no ideas for taking pictures, so I got in touch with several colleagues who had been doing it for a long time.
They all had cameras, and I had a mobile phone.
Of course their pictures were excellent, but mine were not so good.
So I decided to buy a camera. I will show them that I also know how to make good pictures 😂
The new cameras were expensive, so I decided to buy a used one.
Camera was Nikon D3100 with 18-55 VR Kit.
At the beginning I only took pictures in auto mode, I didn't know much about cameras, and even less about manual mode.
Always liked macro pictures, but of course the macro lens was more expensive than the camera I bought. So I decided to buy Extension rings, and a tripod which I got as a gift from a colleague.
Hundreds of pictures, maybe one or two pictures turned out well.
I didn't understand editing programs, there's too much out there, and I slowly lost the will.
Wanted to give up taking pictures, I put a couple of pictures that I thought were good on some pages and got the first positive comments.
So it started, walking in forests, visiting animal farms, traveling, macro pictures (still with Extension rings 😂)...
After a long time I decided to treat myself with a new camera.
I couldn't decide, so many things, this is expensive, this is cheap, so who knows if it's worth it.
The decision finally fell on Canon EOS 850D + Canon EF50mm f/1.8 STM + EF-S 18-55mm/4-5.6 IS STM. I'm still looking for a macro lens so I can finally get rid of these extension rings.
Revival, from image quality to camera quality itself.
Also took a small tripod and a mini photo studio 😃
Below are a few pictures and topics that I like the most.
Nature:
Mini waterfall near the house.
Walking in the forest and enjoying the fresh air.
Animals:
One of my favorite deer photos.
Lizard, which I barely noticed on the bench where I was sitting, camouflaged itself.
Of course also my bearded dragon. Her name is loka and she is almost 4 years old 😊
Flowers:
Taken in my garden after the rain.
While walking through the meadow, you come across various flowers.
Toys:
Sometimes I steal a toy 😂 (primarily cars) from my son to take pictures.
And of course Hotwheels.
They were interesting when we were kids, but of course they are also interesting now. every man knows what I'm talking about 😉
Macro:
Blueberries, great tasting and of course great for taking pictures.
These are a few things about me.
Posts are coming soon and then you will find out more about me 😊😊
I hope you enjoy it.
Greetings to all until the next post 👋👋
