All of my life I have been fascinated by photography. Long time ago, far back in school, I had been a school photographer. While serving in the army, because of my fascination, I have managed to make photos of my fellow soldiers and, by hook or by crook, to save them in my album of army demobbing. During my study in the university I have made photos of my group mates and also of our campaigns/hikes across the native land. Since the beginning of the digital cameras era I have easily switched to digital camera and started to make pictures of my family, friends and the surrounding world. And all of these years I have desired to buy a real reflex camera. This year my wish has come true and now I have become a possessor of a real, advanced reflex camera NIKON D7000. Together with this camera I have acquired the optical lens TAMRON 17-50 F2.8. This choice was reasoned by it’s high-level rapidity, excellent acutance and, from my point of view, a very convenient range of local lengths. For the past few month I have fully defined my requirements and abilities: I prefer to make pictures that can not be associated with macro-photography, the most suitable name for this style is –“Nature Closeup”, which reveals close shots of live nature.
