What is it about and why am I doing this? Who am I?

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Let’s start with the last question. Who am I? My name is Hans-Jürgen Sommerfeld but please call me Jürgen, as all my friends and family do.
Photography was my addiction for more than two thirds of my life, which means more than 40 years now. There were some creative breaks, but they always have been short.
After more than eight years of shooting digital I started taking photos in the old analog way again in April 2014. And what started as an experiment is now the main thing I do. Of course I still shoot digital, and at the moment I would say it is 50 / 50.

What it is about? Well I think I have answered it in the paragraphs before. It is about my hobby photography. I don’t have special subjects, so you will find all kind of things I see and find interesting to take a photo of.

So there is one question left: Why am I doing this? Honestly? Simply because it is fun to share similar interests of hobbies with people who do the same or are interested.

Thank you for your interest and I hope you like what I show. Any kind of comments or critics are welcome.

Jürgen

Excelent work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Welcome to Steemit! I am very happy that you join our community! I wish you all the best on this platform and in your life too! You can count on me for what you need, you just have to write to me and I'll be answering soon. I send you a big hug from Argentina! My name is Marcos @kryptoland 😄👍🏻🇦🇷

Oh Jürgen ! here we are together again !
happy to see your stunning film photography works here my friend !
love the beautiful details in your frames here.
btw you said nothing about the kind of film and camera you used here !

Very nice work. My photography history, and steem history, is similar to yours. Some things I've learned the past two months might help you.

There are a lot of challenges to enter, a way to get known and to meet other photographers. Here's a great link put together by one of the community: https://steemit.com/photography/@felander/list-of-all-photo-challenges-paid-or-for-fun

More are added, and some change, but once you get into this you will see what is happening.

Also, a lot of us like to know the context of the photo, where it was taken or is there a story about it, and the technical details : camera and settings. So for example where is the last shot taken, and is there a story to the statue?

Hope this helps - good luck. Following you, hope to see more!

Hallo und Willkommen auf Steemit, Jürgen ! Schöne Bilder ! :)

Recently I also started using film again and I like it a lot. There is a certain feeling to it that digital doesn't get. Have to say, I sometimes find myself chomping after taking a photo with my MX... ;-)
