Title: Stockholm calling
Post by: Eric Borgström on July 20, 2015, 10:16:11

Hi NikonGear!

Taking a photo is my way of actually seeing. To asses what is special with this place, in this light. It also confirms that I really have been here. Without the photos to establish the fact, have I? Memory fades.

Being a pensioner I go to places for my wife's and own amusement being lucky enough not to have to visit medical facilities out of necessity yet. That was my earlier life, my profession.

So, my Leica accompanies me almost daily but mostly on trips. I am too lazy or perhaps lack imagination enough to pursue ambitious photo projects. When doing slow photography it is the Hasselblad on a tripod I use. Also I have more lenses than I would admit, never sell any. A Nikon D800E is part of the arsenal too but used infrequently. To big to carry around for fun, to static LCD to be viewed conveniently when mounted on a flexible tripod.

And my pictures? I usually am disappointed with my results. Especially when seeing the fantasy and excellence presented by many others. I have a website though, address supplied in my NikonGear byline.

And I must state that I am delighted to have found the site of the fugitives from a difficult other site. Thank you for having taken the effort and time to start up NikonGear again! And for making it camera agnostic, it is the picture and print that matters. But the gear is much fun.

[size=78%]Thank you all for kindly welcoming me.[/size]
The tone here seems more relaxed than in some other photo-communities I have visited.
I will try to contribute my efforts.
