I also use a Nikon Coolpix 8700 (8,0 megapixel), optical Zoom Nikkor ED 8.9-71.2 mm (8x), 1:2,8-4,2.
Sometimes I use a compact camera Sony DSC T3, 5.1 megapixels, optical zoom 3x.
And finally a cameraphone: Nokia N95.

Software? Photoshop.


4. Which one item of equipment is the most important for
you?

Nikon D200 plus tripod and Photoshop: together.

Everywhere I can.

And is there another area of talent you would like to
explore?

11. Have you met other flick rites in person, and how was
the experience?

No. I want not. Flickr is as a Second Life! And Second Life is a second life.


12. Any words of advice for those who would like to dig
deeper into photography?

Shots, shots, shots and... shots. Camera is a friend.



13. Of all the photos you've taken, what is your favorite
