[Jeroen]

Hi, thank you so much for dropping in at my virtual gallery. My name is Jeroen Kelders. I am a self-taught photographer. Having taken up photography pretty late I have a lot of things to catch up and to make up for the lost time. And now photography has become my number one passion.

My fond subjects are architecture and travel/nature.

Do enjoy viewing the photos and feel free to drop me a line or two to send comments or brickbats.

Hi Jeroen, and welcome.

A couple of things - not everyone here has broadband access, and we need to be mindful of their needs. As a general guide, it's helpful if the largest side of any image linked here in a message is no larger than 800 pixels.

One minor technique problem that I noticed in your image is the way that you're holding the camera. Have a look at your left hand; it's holding the camera body as though there are some controls that it's going to operate.

You'll find it a lot better if you start holding your camera by simply opening the palm of your left hand and placing the lens in it, between your thuimb and forefinger, with the body resting further back, and supported, along your palm.

Now close the fingers of your left hand around the lens, and continue supporting the body with the palm of your left hand. Use your right hand to hold the grip, thumb towards the back where it can operate the command dial, pad, and lock switches, forefinger where it can operate the shutter and front command dial ....


I susepct that you'll find this method of holding the camera to be very comfortable and convenient; you can operate all lens controls and most camera controls while giving the camera excellent support under a variety of conditions.

Wait a second... is that a left-handed D70, or is the image flipped, or am I going crazy?

Hi Jeroen,
I have really enjoyed looking at your pictures so far. You have some beautiful architecture to photograph.

For images shot in a mirror it is relatively simple to flip the image in Photoshop or most other image programs. This will correct the reversed image. Of course, we all look best when we see our image reversed because that's how we see ouselves.
